  1. 1 1/2 cups dry red wine
  2. 4 garlic cloves, 3 halved, 1 minced
  3. 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
  4. 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt

  1. In a medium saucepan, boil the wine and halved garlic cloves until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and mash the garlic with a fork. Let cool to room temperature. Stir in the mayonnaise, yogurt, minced garlic, cumin and cayenne and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
