Ingredients

Greek yogurt
150 g
tahini
2 tbsp
garlic
3 clove
lemon juice
1 lemon
fresh mint
1 handful

Step-by-Step Instructions

Peel the garlic cloves and crush them using a garlic press or the side of a chef's knife until they form a smooth paste.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

Stir in the crushed garlic and the finely chopped fresh mint. Mix thoroughly to ensure the aromatics are evenly distributed.

For the best flavor, cover the sauce and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the garlic and mint to infuse.

Chef's Tips

If you prefer a thinner consistency for drizzling over salads, whisk in a tablespoon of cold water. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
