For the Lamb Chops:

• 8 lamb chops

For the Tzatziki:

• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

4. Prepare Tzatziki:

• While the lamb chops are grilling, prepare the tzatziki. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, chopped fresh mint, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

• Mix well, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

5. Serve:

• Arrange the grilled lamb chops on a serving platter.

• Serve the lamb chops with a generous dollop of tzatziki on the side.
