Name: Tahini Yogurt Sauce
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Makes about 1¼ cups
Ingredients: ⅓ cup tahini; ⅓ cup organic plain 2 percent Greek yogurt; ¼ cup water; 3 tablespoons lemon juice; 1 garlic clove, minced; Salt and pepper

Why This Recipe Works

This sauce elevates a relatively mild dish and brings it to an entirely new level. However, sauces are often butter or mayo-based and high in saturated fat, and we often turn to convenient store-bought condiments that are loaded with sodium and sugar. This sauce pairs well with grilled or roasted vegetables or poultry.

Instructions

Whisk tahini, yogurt, water, lemon juice, garlic, and ¾ teaspoon salt together in bowl until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let sit until flavors meld, about 30 minutes. Serve. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.)
