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.
