Equipment

  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 small garlic clove finely grated
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Gather all your ingredients. Make sure your Greek yogurt is at room temperature for easier mixing.

Step 2: Mix the Base

  • In a medium-sized bowl, start by combining the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise. This forms the base of your sauce.

Step 3: Add the Garlic

  • Next, grate the garlic. For a smooth consistency, add the finely grated garlic directly into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it spreads throughout.

Step 4: Incorporate the Lemon Juice

  • Now, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice. This will elevate your sauce and provide that zesty touch.

Step 5: Stir in the Dill

  • Sprinkle in the chopped fresh dill and mix everything until smooth. You want to ensure the dill is evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

Step 6: Taste and Adjust

  • It’s always a good idea to taste as you go. Adjust the lemon juice, garlic, or dill according to your preference.

Step 7: Refrigerate

  • To allow the flavors to meld, let the sauce sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before using.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and dill make a difference. Dried alternatives won't duplicate the same flavor intensity.
  • Adjust Consistency: If your sauce is too thick for your liking, thin it out with a tiny bit of water or additional lemon juice.
  • Make It Ahead: This sauce can be made a day in advance. The flavors intensify and improve after sitting overnight.
  • Play with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne for a spicy kick.
  • Storage Solutions: Use an airtight container to keep your sauce fresh in the fridge for up to a week.
