Whipping up an inspired meal is easy with a zesty, versatile sauce like this in your fridge. Feta, lime juice, and buttermilk make it tangy; avocado makes it creamy; and two kinds of herbs give it loads of freshness. Since the recipe makes 2 1/3 cups, you’ll have plenty to try with chips or raw vegetables for dunking, as a sandwich spread, as a topping for crostini, dolloped on roasted beets or carrots, or as a bed for grilled fish. Feta made from sheep’s cheese is especially mild and creamy, perfect for this sauce. To make the sauce pourable, add a bit more buttermilk. If you like spicy heat, add as many dashes of hot sauce as your tastebuds will tolerate!
