Shawarma Sauce

Ingredients:

 

1 cup mayonnaise

 

1/4 cup plain yogurt

 

2 cloves garlic, minced

 

1 tablespoon olive oil

 

1 teaspoon vinegar (white or apple cider)

 

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

 

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

 

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

 

1/2 teaspoon paprika

 

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spice)

 

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for extra tang)

 

 

Instructions:

 

1. Prepare the garlic – Mince the garlic cloves finely or crush them into a paste for a smoother sauce.

 

 

2. Combine ingredients – In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, and vinegar.

 

 

3. Season – Add salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and cayenne (if using). Mix well to combine.

 

 

4. Adjust consistency – If the sauce is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or lemon juice and mix until you reach your desired texture.

 

 

5. Chill – Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.

 

 

6. Serve – Use as a sauce for shawarma wraps, grilled meats, or as a dip for fries and veggies.
