One of the things that makes halal cart food so delicious is the white sauce drizzled generously on top. It’s a combination of yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar, mixed together with some garlic until the flavors are fully combined. You can make a big batch and keep it in the fridge for a few days. Yogurt can vary in consistency, so if your white sauce is too thick, simply thin it out by adding a bit of water, one teaspoon at a time.

Reviews
The sugar is such a bizarre choice. Completely ruined the taste for me. I added lots of lemon and olive oil to try and balance the sweetness, but this recipe is nothing like what is served on a street cart. Its okay with gyro meat but not what was advertised.
No, no, no, it’s not MAYO….. blitz the finest olive oil you can find with a handheld blender with the garlic until it’s a thick paste, then add the yogurt…. And a squeeze of lemon in place of vinegar…. Come on!!!!
Yum!
