Yogurt makes a gentle marinade.

Its acid is mild, so it works on the surface slowly instead of turning it mushy the way a long soak in straight citrus can. The milk proteins and sugars also help the outside brown on the grill.

A lemon-only marinade can go chalky if it sits too long. A yogurt marinade usually forgives a few extra hours.

Sometimes the softest ingredient does the most work.
