Default Sauce for clams

I've been eating a lot of clams recently, because I
can get live Manila clams at the nearby Asian market.
I only get the ones that squirt vigorously.

I've been trying to come up with a good sauce
to go with them. I used to always make garlic
butter, then it was garlic oil after I quit
eating butter. But I was getting tired of that.

I tried pesto suace, but the flavor overpowered
the clams. I tried Trader Joe's Alfredo sauce,
but it was too bland. Today I tried Trader Joe's
Greek Style Feta Dressing. It's perfect! Feta
is just the right flavor to complement the clams,
and the dressing is a little bit tart and a little
bit garlicky. It's just what I wanted! Now I can
make a very quick breakfast just by steaming the
clams for a few minutes and dredging them in this
bottled dressing.
