Grilled Lamb Chops with Green Herb Sauce

There’s something undeniably luxurious about perfectly grilled lamb chops, and when you pair them with a vibrant, herb-loaded Green Goddess sauce made with Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise, it’s pure magic. These juicy chops are marinated in a lemony garlic and mayonnaise blend that tenderizes the meat and helps build a beautiful crust on the grill. Served over a bed of creamy, zesty green sauce made with fresh mint, parsley, and rosemary, every bite is rich, bright, and irresistibly bold. This is the kind of dish that feels special but is easy enough to throw on the grill any night of the week, especially when the craving hits for something smoky, savory, and just a little indulgent.

Ingredients

Juicy Lamb Chops

  • 10-12 lamb rib chops. 1 inch thickness
  • 1/2 cup Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp garlic grated or finely minced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Green Goddess Sauce

  • 1 cup Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup mint roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp garlic about 2 cloves
  • 1 tbsp rosemary finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Garnish

  • Lemon wedges grilled
  • Parsley chopped

Instructions

Green Goddess Sauce

  • Add all ingredients listed under “Green Goddess Sauce” into a food processor and blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water until it reaches the preferred consistency. Once smooth, place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Juicy Lamb Chops

  • In a large bowl add all ingredients listed under “Juicy Lamb Chops” and mix throughly. Allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 24 hours prior to grilling.

Assemble

  • Get the grill to about 400F.
  • Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place them over direct heat. Grill for 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness. The cook time will vary depending on the thickness of the chops and your preferred level of doneness.
  • For best results, use a meat thermometer and let the lamb rest for 5 minutes after grilling. This helps the juices redistribute and gives you the most tender bite.
  • Serve over a bed of the green goddess sauce with a few grilled lemon wedges and enjoy!
