This versatile Garlic Yogurt Sauce is about to become a staple in your house! You'll never want to buy a store-bought sauce again once you realise how quick and easy this is to make.

I like to think of this sauce as a simpler version of my beloved Greek Tzatziki. The truth is I don't always have dill on hand to make up a batch, but this Garlic Yogurt Sauce is made with just 6 everyday ingredients I almost always have.

In just a few minutes you'll have a gourmet, restaurant quality sauce that can be used in so many ways. I love to use this as a sauce for grilled chicken, or as a dip with some fresh pita breads.

But don't feel you have limit yourself to those uses. I've included a list of usage suggestions below to get you thinking outside the box!

This garlic yogurt sauce is so delicious I could eat it by the spoonful! However you choose to use it I know you'll be impressed with how easy it is to prepare.
