Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Add 8 lamb rib chops and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove lamb chops from marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
Step 3: While lamb grills, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 grated and drained cucumber, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil, and 1 tsp white vinegar in a small bowl. Mix well and season with salt to taste.
Step 4: Remove lamb chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve lamb drizzled with the fresh tzatziki sauce.
