Instructions

Place the Greek yogurt, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, parsley and water in a bowl.
Whisk until well-incorporated. Add more water if the sauce is too thick.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes, add garnish, and serve.

Notes

Customizable Consistency: If you prefer a thinner sauce, gradually add water or lemon juice until you reach the desired consistency. This is especially useful if you’re drizzling the sauce over a salad.
Flavor Boost: Let the sauce sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste.
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for an extra kick. This can elevate the sauce, especially when paired with grilled meats.
Roasted Garlic: For a milder garlic flavor, roast the garlic clove before adding it to the sauce. This adds a sweet, caramelized note that can be a delightful variation.
Tahini Texture: If your tahini has separated and become thick, stir in a bit of warm water or olive oil to make it smoother before adding it to the sauce.
