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.
