Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl for about 1 minute until it forms a stiff paste.
  2. Whisk in the cold water a tablespoon at a time, then stir in the yogurt and whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed. Serve immediately or let sit for 10 minutes to mellow the garlic, then drizzle over shawarma or use as a dip.

Notes

The sauce thickens as it rests and chills. If it becomes too thick after refrigeration, stir in a teaspoon of cold water to loosen it.
