Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 85kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Homemade or Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup cucumber (minced)
- 3 cloves garlic (pressed)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (diced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint (diced)
- 1 scallion (diced)
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoon Tahini Sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Pour yogurt into a large bowl. Add minced cucumber, garlic cloves, freshly chopped dill, fresh mint, scallions, dill weed, salt, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix to combine.
Optional
- Mix a few tablespoons of tahini sauce into the yogurt sauce. Once plated, drizzle yogurt sauce with olive oil.
Notes
- Make sure you buy plain or unflavored yogurt; I have on more than one occasion accidentally grabbed vanilla instead of plain. I suppose this is another good reason to make your own yogurt?
- Instead of bottled lemon juice, choose fresh lemon juice instead. You'll also accentuate the lemon flavor by mixing lemon zest into the sauce.
- For a pretty presentation, you can sprinkle the sauce with some paprika powder before serving.
- Instead of serving this sauce with a chicken shawarma plate, you can make a shawarma wrap using lavash bread. Just load chicken shawarma into lavash bread and add any of the following: sliced tomatoes, onions, lettuce, fries, or hummus and drizzle with the shawarma sauce. Wrap and enjoy!
