Ingredients
Units
- 1/2 cup sour cream – see notes for substitutions
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise -see notes for substitutions
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced, or 1/2 teaspoon onion powder or garlic powder
- 3–4 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk sour cream, mayo, and garlic in a small bowl.
- Add the fresh dill, lemon zest, *lemon juice and pepper. Mix, taste, and add salt to taste. Adjust lemon and pepper to your liking.
- *Yogurt is tangier and may not need lemon juice.
Notes
Optional additions: finely chopped onion, parsley, grated horseradish (for a little kick).
Sour cream: To me, sour cream tastes the best here, but feel free to use yogurt. If using yogurt ( or vegan yogurt) you may need to whisk in a couple of teaspoons (to taste) of olive oil for extra richness.
Mayo: Use store-bought mayo, homemade mayo or vegan mayo.
Dill sauce will keep up to 4 days in the fridge.
