Instructions

1. Prep your ingredients
Mince the garlic and finely chop all the herbs.

2. Mix the base
In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir in the garlic, parsley, mint, and dill.
Chef’s Tip: Let the dressing sit for 5–10 minutes before serving. This gives the garlic and herbs time to soften and blend into the yogurt.
