Directions

  1. Wash the mushrooms, slice them, and drizzle with 2-3 drops of lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Sauté them in a little butter until the water has completely evaporated. If you are using canned mushrooms, use whole mushrooms. Drain the corn, then add salt and olive oil. ≈ 8 min
  2. Whisk the mayonnaise to smooth it out, then add the yogurt and mix well. Add the remaining lemon juice, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and sugar, and then whisk with a fork until you have a smooth sauce. ≈ 4 min
  3. Mix the mushrooms and corn, pour in the sauce and mix. If you like, add some chili pepper to spice it up. ≈ 4 min
