A creamy and flavorful garlic sauce that complements shawarma.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup mayonnaise
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for added richness)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and minced garlic. Stir until well blended, ensuring no lumps of garlic remain. The creamy mayonnaise serves as a perfect base that pairs beautifully with the sharpness of the garlic.
Add the lemon juice and salt, mixing thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients. Adjust the amount of lemon juice based on your taste preference for tanginess; a bit more can brighten the sauce.
For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle in the olive oil and mix again until smooth. This step not only adds richness but also helps to create a silkier texture, which will coat your shawarma perfectly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, which helps the garlic infuse into the mayonnaise. This waiting period creates a more pronounced garlic flavor that elevates your shawarma experience.
