Ingredients

11 servings
  • 235 g Greek Yogurt (Nonfat)

    Plain Greek yogurt — nonfat (0%) or low-fat (2%). Not regular yogurt.

  • 30 g Mayonnaise, Light
  • 20 g Harissa Paste, Prepared
  • 15 g Lemon Juice, Fresh
  • 3 g Paprika, Smoked
  • 2 g Cumin, Ground
  • 5 g Garlic Blend, Seasoning

Instructions

  1. 1Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Taste and adjust harissa to preferred heat level — brands vary significantly. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. Keeps up to 10 days in a sealed jar. Stir before each use. Makes approx. 11 servings (2 tbsp each).

Notes

Built on the Greek Yogurt Sauce Base. Rose harissa (CAVA, Mina, or NY Shuk) has a floral, aromatic character that standard harissa lacks — use it if available. Regular harissa works fine but is more straightforwardly spicy. Use on grilled meats, roasted veggies, as a sandwich spread, or grain bowl drizzle.
