Substitutions
Also, with this quick sauce recipe, I would like to show you substitution options.
Yogurt
If you can't find unsweetened plant-based yogurt now, or you don't want to go to the store, you may have all the ingredients for the vegan mayo without oil.
You could also use some vegan sour cream, cashew cream made with raw cashews or combine yogurt with cashew cream. You can either use almond yogurt, soy yogurt.
Important it is not too sweet otherwise the vegan kebab sauce will turn a little sweet.
Then simply prepare double the amount and proceed as in the recipe.
Tahini
The tahini serves as an oil substitute, if you don't have a tahini at home, you can use cashew butter or almond butter instead.
Apple Cider Vinegar
You can use white wine vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. You can replace both of them 1:1.
Lemon Juice
Thanks to the lemon juice, you have to add less salt. Which is ideal for a low-salt diet.
You can also replace the lemon juice with lime juice.
Variations
As always, I'll be happy to show you variants of the vegan garlic sauce.
This dairy-free sauce recipe is already gluten-free. Depending on which yogurt you use, you can make the garlic sauce nut-free or soy-free.
You can really use your favorite yogurt here.

Storage
Do you have leftovers or did you cook in large quantities? Here I will show you how you can store the leftovers of the vegan garlic sauce.
How to refrigerate it?
The garlic sauce can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for approx. 5 days.
How to freeze it?
You can also freeze the sauce in portions and then let it thaw. So you always have a universal sauce at hand quickly. The sauce will keep there for about 3 months.
Tips
Depending on the yogurt sauce you use, add a little more tahini so that you get a creamy sauce. I like to use almond or soy-based yogurt.
Let the sauce sit for 30 minutes and taste again. You can add more garlic if you want.
Add some fresh herbs to get other flavors with this garlic sauce. Like cilantro for a cilantro garlic sauce. Or fresh parsley or fresh dill.
Add a cheesy note with some nutritional yeast.
You want a thicker consistency, add some more tahini or nut butter.
Add as much garlic cloves as you want to. Adjust to your spice level. I cannot have enough garlic in my yogurt-garlic sauce.
