Ingredients

Mint Yogurt Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves (loosely packed and finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced or pressed through a garlic press)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the yogurt, chopped fresh mint, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper into a small mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
  3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and add additional salt or lemon juice as desired to balance the flavors to your preference.
  4. Serve or Store: Use the sauce immediately as a dip or accompaniment, or transfer it into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for up to 5 days for later use.

Notes

  • The sauce is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Adjust garlic and lemon juice quantities for a milder or more tangy flavor according to taste.
  • Use fresh mint leaves for optimal flavor; dried mint will alter the taste and texture.
  • This sauce pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and as a refreshing salad dressing base.
