This is the original recipe. You should add a lesser amount of the tahini, lemon and garlic and keep tasting it and adding more until it suits you.

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
