What's in it

Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.

Steps

  1. 01Peel and finely grate 2 tbsp of cucumber; squeeze out the extra water.
  2. 02Stir the cucumber into 1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt.
  3. 03Stir in a pinch of finely chopped fresh dill.
  4. 04Spoon over meat or veggie purées, or serve as a dip from 9 months.

Why it works

A cool, tangy sauce keeps the dairy exposure regular and teaches babies that sauces make food interesting — it softens dry meats and makes bitter veggies friendlier.

Storage

Keeps 24 hours covered in the fridge; pour off any watery layer and stir before serving.
