How to Make Gyro Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
  3. For a quick and delicious gyro, warm your favorite pita bread. Add thinly sliced marinated gyro meat, tomatoes, red onion, and a generous dollop of this incredible gyro sauce.
  4. Alternatively, use thinly sliced pastrami or spicy roast beef (about 4-6 oz). Microwave for 20-30 seconds to warm slightly.
  5. Assemble your pita or sandwich with the meat, tomatoes, red onions, and a generous helping of the chilled Gyro Sauce. Enjoy!
