    • 📖 Recipe

    This is not just great for a doner kebab, but also as a vegan sandwich sauce or as an oil-free salad dressing, this yogurt sauce with garlic is simply super delicious.

    Can you never get enough of garlic? Or do you have a different opinion? If you landed here, it’s probably because you love garlic, and this vegan garlic yogurt sauce will amaze you.

    You already love a vegan tzatziki sauce recipe? Then this delicious sauce will just taste as amazing.

    Take the white sauce, a piece of pizza and dip the pizza in it. Yuuum. You can eat this sauce with just about anything. And best of all, you don't need any sugar, no oil for this sauce recipe. Instead, you make these with plant-based unsweetened plain yogurt.

    Ingredients

    Then let's just take a look at the handful of ingredients you require for this great vegan garlic sauce.

    As always, the exact quantities can be found below in the recipe card.

    Vegan unsweetened yogurt

    Apple Cider Vinegar

    Lemon Juice

    Tahini

    Fresh Garlic Cloves

    Sea salt and White Pepper

    Optional: herbs such as dill, parsley, chives

    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.

    Instructions

    Put all the ingredients for the vegan garlic sauce in a mixing bowl and stir with a whisk. You should chop the garlic very finely or put it through a garlic press.

    Season the sauce with a little sea salt and pepper.

    You can also add herbs if you wish.

    Prepare in advance

    This recipe is great for prepping in advance and then eating during the week.

    Recommended equipment

    All you need for this vegan garlic sauce is a mixing bowl and a whisk.

    Serving options

    With this vegan yogurt sauce with garlic you have a diverse sauce that really goes well with many things like as a creamy dip:

    Vegan Döner Kebab

    Salad Dressing

    Sandwich Sauce

    Pizza Dip Sauce

    Wraps

    White Pizza Sauce

    Garlic Pasta Sauce

    Vegan Gyro

    Pita Bread

    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.
