Garlic-yogurt sauce with oregano

4 servings

5 minutes

Garlic-yogurt sauce with oregano is a true embodiment of Mediterranean tenderness and spiciness. Its roots trace back to European cuisine, where the freshness of yogurt combines with the aroma of oregano and a rich garlic accent. This sauce has a harmonious balance— the light acidity of lemon juice and the gentle sweetness of honey are highlighted by the velvety texture of natural yogurt. It perfectly complements meat dishes, vegetables, and salads, and is also great as a dressing for pita or fresh bread. Its exquisite flavor unfolds gradually, leaving a warm and slightly spicy aftertaste that makes every dish special.
