For the Creamy Garlic Aioli: Mince 2 small garlic cloves finely or crush them into a paste. Combine with 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and store in a small bowl for serving.
For the Spicy Avocado Salsa: In a blender, combine 1 medium avocado (peeled and pitted), 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, 1.5 tablespoons lime juice, 1 small jalapeño pepper (seeded for less heat, if desired), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to thin out the consistency.
For the Zesty Herb Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons each of finely chopped fresh dill and parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Transfer each sauce into a serving dish or ramekin. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
