Ingredients
Scale
Cucumber Yogurt Sauce
- 1 cup grated cucumber (1 medium or 2/3 large)
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup full fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried dill*
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
- Water
Tahini Sauce
- ⅓ cup tahini
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice (2 small or 1 ½ large lemons)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Cucumber yogurt sauce: Peel the cucumber and coarsely grate it. Place it in a clean tea towel or dish towel and squeeze tightly over a sink to remove excess liquid. In a medium bowl, stir together all ingredients, then stir in about 2 to 3 tablespoons of water, until the sauce is smooth and creamy (the water amount will vary based on the yogurt brand).
- Tahini sauce: In a small bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup, and kosher salt and whisk to combine. Add the water and whisk until a light and creamy dressing forms; add a little more water as necessary depending on the consistency of your tahini. Serve immediately or refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving. Extra dressing keeps for about 1 month in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
