Five completely different sauces from one boring pantry

Pantry: yogurt, lemon, olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika.

Aioli: yogurt + garlic + lemon + a drizzle of olive oil. Mayo without the mayo.

Vinaigrette: olive oil, lemon, soy sauce, smoked paprika. Salad meets dashi.

Hot: smoked paprika as the lead, yogurt as cooler, garlic, lemon. A spreadable harissa cousin.

BBQ-leaning: smoked paprika, soy sauce, lemon, a pinch of sugar if you have it.

Umami: soy sauce + yogurt + garlic, finished with a swirl of olive oil.

Same six items. Five different conversations.
