Quick and Easy Greek Yogurt Tahini Sauce (my fave dip!)

Greek Yogurt Tahini Sauce is my go-to when I’m craving a creamy, lemony dip that pairs super well with veggies, potatoes, chicken, falafel, pita sandwiches and beyond. I love that it’s done in 5 minutes, super delish and also protein-packed. A fun new way to enjoy yogurt!

I mean have you ever seen anything so luacous and creamy?! I served this at my book club with sumac roasted potato wedges, then with grilled chicken, pita, and veg another night, then with shawarma-inspired meatballs another day.

They just make everything better!

The low down on ingredients

  • Greek yogurt: A delightful creamy (and high protein!) base for our dip.
  • Tahini: Also know as ground sesame paste, it adds amazing flavor and richness. I like Soom brand, or you can find it at Trader Joe’s.
  • Extra virgin olive oil: I love the flavor and extra richness olive oil adds. A swirl on top is beautiful, too!
  • Lemon juice: I just adore fresh lemon to bring this sauce to life. I’m in “the more the merrier” camp!
  • Garlic: For a little flavor zip, fresh garlic always delivers.
  • Cumin: This earthy spics really elevates the sauce.
  • Salt: Critical to have enough salt to make all the flavors pop.

Let’s make it!
