How to Make Yogurt Garlic Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil until well combined.
  2. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs (mint and parsley), salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tang or more garlic for a bolder flavor.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to chill. This step is crucial for the best taste!
  4. Serve chilled over your favorite dishes – kofte, grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or even as a dip with pita bread. Enjoy!
