- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 small, minced Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and tahini.
Add the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil on top for presentation, if desired.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and added flavor, if using.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
