Veggie Sticks with Garlicky Yogurt Sauce

Greek yogurt is healthy but sometimes its flavor can be too intense for some people. But just with a few extra ingredients, it can turn into a flavorful dipping sauce for veggie sticks. Even my Mister at home embraces this transformation.

Veggie sticks with garlicky yogurt sauce -

Ingredients?

• Some veggie sticks (such as celery, carrot, cucumber, and romaine lettuce)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 garlic cloves
• 5 to 6 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

How?

Prepare the veggie sticks. Peel and trim off the skin or fibrous parts if needed. As for the sauce, finely chop the mint leaves right before serving and mix with peeled and finely chopped garlic cloves, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt.

Serve the veggie sticks with this garlicky yogurt sauce. That's it, can't be simpler than that.

I still got some leftover Greek yogurt, maybe it can be used as a marinade. Let me figure it out and maybe one other Greek yogurt related recipe will be up in the near future.
