Description
This was the sauce that magically appeared next to grilled anything. Smoky meats, roasted veggies, warm bread – everything dipped in it tasted better. Creamy yogurt, bold garlic, and a whisper of lemon made it unforgettable. Grandma served it in coffee cups, but it always vanished before the meat did.

🥄 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for extra richness)
