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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
