Serve this delicious sauce with falafel in pita or with fresh vegetables. Best if made a few hours in advance, but it can be served immediately. I chop the garlic, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients. This increases the amount of allicin, a compound shown to have antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiprotozoal activity.
Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons tahini, or more to taste
- 1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Directions
Step 1
Place garlic cloves in a blender or food processor and process to mince. Add tahini, and process for a further few seconds. Add yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cumin; process until smooth. Season to taste with salt. Transfer to a serving dish.
