This dip blends thick yogurt and tahini with warm turmeric and a touch of garlic and lemon for a tangy, nutty spread. It comes together in minutes with no cooking required, making it a quick addition to a mezze spread or a bright topping for roasted vegetables and grain bowls.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons water, or as needed to thin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon sumac, for garnish (optional)

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth.

  2. Add the turmeric, minced garlic, cumin, and salt, and whisk until the color is even and no streaks of turmeric remain.

  3. Whisk in water a tablespoon at a time until the dip reaches a smooth, spoonable consistency.

  4. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed, then cover and refrigerate at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  5. Transfer to a shallow bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with chopped parsley and a pinch of sumac before serving.
