Tahini Yogurt Sauce (5 Minutes)
Five minutes, five ingredients, one SUPER delicious tahini yogurt sauce. This sauce is seriously addictive and versatile - drizzle it over juicy lamb koftas or harissa honey grilled chicken, use as a dipping sauce with flatbreads, toss through salads....the possibilities are endless. Plus, you don't need any fancy equipment - it's as easy as mixing everything in a bowl and serving.
Servings: 1 cup
Calories: 53kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain or Greek unsweetened yogurt
- 2 tablespoons tahini paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the sauce ingredients. Add the ½ cup of yogurt, 2 tablespoons of tahini, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon of salt into a small bowl. Using a small grater (like a microplane) or a garlic press, grate or mince the garlic directly into the bowl.
- Mix the sauce. Mix the ingredients vigorously with a fork until a cohesive and creamy sauce forms.
- Use the sauce. The sauce is now ready to use, or you can store it in a sealed container in the fridge.
Notes
The sauce will keep in the fridge for 1 week in a sealed container.
I prefer a thick sauce so love using Greek or Greek style yogurt in this recipe - plain yogurt will give you a runnier result but if that's what you like, go for it!
