Notes

So what’s harissa? Sometimes sold as a powder, more often found as a paste, harissa is Moroccan red pepper condiment. Use your favorite brand or formula. Or use some other red pepper: chipotle flake, aleppo, cayenne, even Louisiana hot sauce. It’s the pairing with the creamy yoghurt and acidic lemon juice that makes the dressing, not the particular hot spice.

Suggestions

Might this work with other grilled dishes like hamburgers or kufta burgers of beef or lamb? Definitely.
