Ingredients

• 6 tbsp Mayonnaise (half fat or full fat)
• 4 tbsp Greek Yoghurt (fat free or full fat)
• 1 Garlic Clove, crushed
• Juice of Half a Lemon
• Salt and Pepper to season

Ingredient Notes

Mayonnaise — The base of this sauce. I use half fat mayonnaise for a lighter version but full fat works brilliantly too and will give a slightly richer, creamier result. Use whichever you prefer!

Greek Yoghurt — Adds a wonderful tang and freshness to the sauce while keeping it nice and light. I use fat free Greek yoghurt but full fat works just as well. Make sure you are using Greek yoghurt rather than natural yoghurt for the best thick, creamy texture.

Garlic — Just one clove of crushed garlic packs a real punch in this sauce! Use fresh garlic for the best flavour — the pre crushed jars just don’t deliver the same fresh, vibrant taste.

Lemon Juice — The juice of half a fresh lemon adds a lovely brightness and tang that cuts through the richness of the mayo and yoghurt beautifully. Always use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for the best flavour.

Salt and Pepper — Simple but essential! Season to taste at the end to bring all the flavours together.

Storage

Storing Your Garlic Mayo Sauce Store your garlic mayo sauce in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Give it a quick stir before using as it may separate slightly after sitting in the fridge.

Can I Freeze Garlic Mayo Sauce? We don’t recommend freezing this sauce as the mayonnaise and yoghurt can split when defrosted and the texture won’t be the same. Luckily it only takes 5 minutes to whip up a fresh batch!

How long does homemade garlic mayo last? Homemade garlic mayo sauce will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Always give it a quick stir before using.

Can I make this garlic mayo sauce without yoghurt? Yes! You can use all mayonnaise instead of the yoghurt for a richer sauce. Simply use 10 tablespoons of mayonnaise in total. However the yoghurt adds a lovely tang and lightens up the sauce so we recommend including it if you can. Alternatively, use sour cream or low fat creme fraiche to substitute the yoghurt.

The Greek yoghurt also adds a little protein! It is much healthier than shop bought garlic mayo which is often packed with extras.

How many wraps does this recipe make enough sauce for? This recipe makes enough garlic mayo sauce for around 6-8 wraps depending on how generous you are with the spreading!

Can I use natural yoghurt instead of Greek yoghurt? Greek yoghurt is best as it is thicker and creamier than natural yoghurt. If you only have natural yoghurt, you may want to use a little less or strain it through a sieve first to remove some of the
