It is a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, vegetables, and falafel. Because of its thick and creamy consistency, it can also be used as a dip or spread on sandwiches. However, it is important to note that due to the amount of oil in the recipe, this sauce is high in calories and should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
