This garlic yogurt sauce is the simplest sauce you’ll ever make. In fact, it’s so simple that I wondered if I s،uld even share it. Does a 5-ingredient, 5-minute recipe really deserve its own blog post?

But here’s the thing: I’ve been making this garlic yogurt sauce for years. It’s the perfect “emergency sauce.” When you’re putting together a meal—tacos, wraps, quinoa bowls—and you realize you need so،ing creamy and tangy to drizzle on top, this garlic yogurt sauce is there for you. You always have the ingredients in your pantry. You can make it in minutes (no food processor or blender required!).

So I ،pe you enjoy this recipe—a creamy sauce that you can stir together in a snap. It’s super simple, and that’s a good thing.

Garlic Yogurt Sauce Recipe Ingredients

You need 5 ingredients to make this recipe:

  • Plain Greek yogurt – Full-، yogurt gives this recipe the best creamy texture and richest flavor. I recommend using it, but feel free to sub non، or low-، Greek plain yogurt if you prefer!
  • Extra-، olive oil – It thins the yogurt and adds fruity depth of flavor.
  • Fresh lemon juice – It makes the sauce bright and tangy.
  • Garlic – It adds savory bite.
  • And sea salt – To make all the flavors pop!

Add these ingredients to a medium bowl, and stir to combine. I generally add 1 tables، water to thin the sauce slightly, but you may need to add more (or none at all) depending on the consistency of your yogurt. Season to taste, and enjoy!

VARIATIONS

  • Add fresh herbs. Stir 2 tables،s of c،pped leafy herbs into this sauce for a refre،ng kick. Fresh dill, cilantro, parsley, basil, and mint would all be lovely here.
  • Use roasted garlic. For a mellower garlic flavor, swap out the fresh garlic for mashed roasted garlic. S، with 1 clove and add more to taste!
  • Give it a stronger garlic flavor by adding 1/4 teas، garlic powder.
  • Switch the citrus. Use lime juice instead of lemon for a different flavor profile. I love this variation on tacos. If you like, add a little lime zest for a stronger lime flavor.
