Spicy Yogurt Sauce

We recently ordered takeout from a local Greek restaurant and it came with a spicy yogurt sauce that was fantastic. We immediately started recipe testing to create our own version.

It’s creamy and easy to make. Just a few ingredients are required –

• plain Greek yogurt (we used full fat since you only need a little bit of the sauce anyway)
• lemon juice
• minced garlic
• sriracha (or hot sauce of your choice)
• salt & pepper
• cumin and cayenne pepper
