Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
  • 1-2 TBSP harissa paste
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1-2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and mince garlic.
  2. Add garlic and oil to a small skillet and heat to medium-high. Sauté, stirring often, for approx. 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat once garlic begins to brown.
  3. In a large bowl, add yogurt, sour cream garlic (in oil) and season with salt and garlic powder. Add one tablespoon each of harissa paste and lemon juice and mix well. Give it a taste and if you can handle the heat, add that extra tablespoon! Loving the lemon? Add another tablespoon. I loved mine with 2 TBSP each of lemon juice and harissa paste. 
  4. Mix it all together and dive in with pita and veggies or use it as a zesty sandwich spread for a pita pocket or wrap. Making it in advance? It'll stay fresh 3-4 days in the fridge.
