Ingredients
- 150 g Greek yogurt
- 50 g mayonnaise
- 50 g tahini
- 1½ tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon dill
Instructions
- Start with gathering and preparing your ingredients. Measure all the ingredients and mince the garlic finely. Chop fresh dill leaves and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, and mayonnaise until well combined.
- Stir in the lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt, and mix thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick enough to cling to food but smooth enough to drizzle.
- Add chopped fresh dill leaves, transfer to a serving plate, and let the sauce sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Fresh lemon juice and garlic make a noticeable difference in the sauce’s flavor. Avoid bottled lemon juice for the best results.
- Taste as you go and adjust the salt, lemon juice, or tahini to suit your preference.
- For the best flavor, let the shawarma sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, giving the ingredients time to blend and develop a richer taste.
