Fresh Mint and Tzatziki

A big bunch of fresh mint from my garden means it’s time to whip up a batch of tzatziki.

Tzatziki Sauce
Serve this Greek yogurt sauce with lamb chops, seafood, poultry, or as a dip for fresh veggies. It tastes good on just about anything!

Makes about 2 1/4 cups

• 2 cups 2% Greek yogurt
• 1/2 large English cucumber, grated* or finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped mint
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.

*To grate cucumber, use a box grater and place shredded cucumber into a clean dish towel. Wrap into a bundle and squeeze out the excess liquid before adding to the bowl.
