This creamy and tangy Garlic Yogurt Sauce combines the richness of Greek yogurt with the punch of fresh garlic and zesty lemon juice.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: About 1 cup (serves 4)

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon water, plus more as needed

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, grated garlic clove, and sea salt until well blended.
  2. Adjust Consistency: Stir in 1 tablespoon of water. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, gradually add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  3. Store Properly: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to 5 days, making it convenient for meal prep or as a ready-to-use condiment.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; avoid pre-minced garlic to maintain freshness.
  • If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the amount of garlic or let the sauce sit for a few hours in the fridge before serving.
  • This sauce can be customized with fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or mint for additional flavor variations.
  • Be cautious with salt as the sauce can be adjusted easily just before serving.
