1

Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.

2

Marinate the Vegetables

Cut your favorite veggies into bite-sized pieces. You can use bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms. Place the veggies in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and gently shake to coat the veggies. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

3

Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of grated cucumber, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything well to combine. Set the sauce aside.

4

Skewer and Grill

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated veggies onto skewers and brush them with a bit of olive oil. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the veggies are slightly charred and tender.

5

Serve and Enjoy

Once the veggies are grilled to perfection, remove them from the skewers and transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over the top, sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano, and garnish with fresh dill. Serve with warm pita bread, a side of Greek salad, and enjoy!
