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
- Combine Ingredients: Place the yogurt, chopped fresh mint, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper into a small mixing bowl.
- Mix Thoroughly: Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and add additional salt or lemon juice as desired to balance the flavors to your preference.
- 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.
