Skordalia is a sauce typically used on fish or vegetables in Greece. Some recipes call for walnuts instead of almonds. Use what you like but be sure to toast the walnuts to enhance their rich, nutty flavor. Some recipes also call for yogurt. You can turn this into a wonderful dip for raw vegetables by adding some Greek yogurt.
