If you can't tell I've been in a mediterranean mood lately, with the hummus, naan and now this yogurt dipping sauce. I acutally made and ate them together and had it for lunch for several days.
I can't remember how I came across this recipe, but I had some fresh mint leftover in my fridge that I needed to use up so I went searching. I wasn't sure what to think when I saw the list of ingredients but I had everything so I went ahead and made it. I made it right after I made my first batch of hummus and flat bread so I put it all together. Wow, what a great combination! The salty, chewy hummus and flat bread went perfectly with the fresh and tangy sauce. I bet it would even be great with some lamb or pork. The recipe only makes about a cup so if you're serving it to company I suggest at least doubling it!
Minted Yogurt Dipping Sauce
2 cups loosely packed fresh mint leaves (about 1 small bunch)
1 cup loosely packed cilantro (about half a bunch)
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup pain Greek yogurt
1 tsp. raw honey
pinch of salt
pinch of red pepper flakes
drizzle of olive oil
Place everything in a food processor with a chopper blade and process until well blended. Store in the refrigerator.
