1/2 cup Plain Yogurt
1 small clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1 tbsp Water

Notes

This recipe yields about ¾ cup of sauce, perfect for serving alongside grilled meats, kebabs, wraps, fries, sandwiches, or spicy rice dishes.
For adjustments, add more mint for a stronger herbal flavor, increase lemon juice for extra brightness, or loosen the consistency with a little extra water if needed. Chilling the sauce before serving helps the flavors become even fresher and more balanced.
