Method
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.
