Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 1 cup of Greek yogurt and place it into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Finely chop 1 teaspoon of fresh spearmint, ensuring the pieces are small to evenly distribute the flavor.
- Add the finely chopped spearmint to the bowl of Greek yogurt.
- Add a dash of salt to the mixture. Be careful not to add too much salt – about 0.4 grams should suffice.
- Using a spoon or a small whisk, gently stir the Greek yogurt, spearmint, and salt together until the spearmint is evenly distributed throughout.
- Ensure that the salt is fully dissolved and blended into the yogurt for a consistent flavor.
- Taste the yogurt mixture. If you desire a stronger mint flavor, you can add a little more chopped spearmint.
- If the yogurt is still lacking a bit of saltiness, add another tiny pinch and stir well.

- It can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together even more.
- Serve the minty Greek yogurt as a refreshing dip, a topping for grilled meats, a side to vegetable dishes, or simply enjoy it on its own. It also pairs well with fresh fruits or as a dressing for salads.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality Greek yogurt that is thick and creamy.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of spearmint based on your preference for a milder or stronger mint flavor.
- Adding a small drizzle of honey can add a touch of sweetness that complements the minty flavor perfectly.
- Consider chilling the yogurt mixture for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Adding a sprinkle of finely chopped nuts or seeds can provide a delightful crunch.
