Notes

Make-Ahead: You can prepare the yogurt mint sauce a day or two in advance. The flavors will meld together, making it even tastier.
Adjustments: You can substitute fresh mint with dried mint if fresh isn’t available, though fresh is preferable for the best flavour.

Serving Suggestions:

This sauce pairs wonderfully with grilled meats like lamb, chicken, or beef.
It’s also great as a dip for vegetables, pita, or as a topping for falafel.

Storage:

Store the yogurt mint sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Keep it in the coldest part of the fridge to maintain its freshness and flavour.
