Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by finely mincing 1 clove of garlic. You can also use a garlic press for a smoother paste.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yoghurt, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the yoghurt mixture. Stir well to ensure the garlic is evenly distributed.
Step 4
Finely chop 1 tablespoon of fresh dill and 1 tablespoon of fresh mint leaves. Add them to the bowl with the yoghurt mixture.
Step 5
Season the sauce with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If it is too thick for your preference, you can add a splash of water or more lemon juice to thin it out.
Step 7
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve the yoghurt sauce chilled as a dip, salad dressing, or accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
