How To Make Greek Yogurt Sauce
- Sometimes you just crave something unique and you can’t find it anywhere in the store. So you know what? You just make it yourself! That’s how I came up with this dip.
- I adore the earthy spice of cumin and garlic. And I can’t find any dips that feature it as prominently as I was hoping. So I made my own dip! It is incredible. You won’t believe how flavorful it is.
- This Greek yogurt sauce is a great dip when I want to spice up any Mediterranean dish. It goes well with grilled kebabs, gyros, or any Greek salad.
- Greek yogurt makes a perfect dip because it’s already thick and creamy. This recipe couldn’t be any easier.
Ingredients:
- Greek yogurt
- Garlic clove
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Cumin
- Lemon juice
Instructions:
This is such a cinch! There are really just two steps.
1. Place the Greek yogurt, pressed garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
2. Whisk all the ingredients together until well incorporated. Serve chilled.
How long does Greek yogurt sauce last?
Keep this yogurt in an airtight container in your refrigerator. If you do that, it will last for up to two weeks. But keep in mind it will have the best taste and texture in the first 7 days. After that, the quality will diminish, even though it will still be safe to eat.
