Dill Yogurt Sauce

This is a simple Yogurt Dill Sauce recipe that pairs well with Greek potato wedges, burgers, salmon, falafel, chicken, carrots or celery sticks. This dipping sauce is fresh tasting, has some tartness from the yogurt and a zesty lemon flavor.

Ingredients For Making This Sauce

• Plain Unsweetened Greek Yogurt – The yogurt serves as a base for the sauce. Greek yogurt has an exceptionally unique taste that is velvety in texture and extremely tangy. This makes it an excellent savory ingredient. Ensure it’s full fat, otherwise you’ll miss out on the creamy consistency. Also, if you do not have Greek yogurt, sour cream is an amazing substitution for this recipe

• Lemon Zest and Lemon Juice – The use of lemons in this sauce is meant to enhance the flavor. In addition to having amazing flavor profile, lemons provide food with the flavor it craves. In addition, adding lemon zest to the sauce will give it a stronger flavor because its essence is stronger.

• Fresh Dill – This sauce needs to be made with fresh dill and not dried one. The dried dill will not soften because this is a cold sauce and the absence of heat will not help it do so.

• Salt and Black Pepper – added to boost taste.

• Cayenne Pepper– this is optional to add a bit of heat to the sauce.

• Olive Oil – you can add this too if you want the sauce to be more velvety. Be aware that it may slightly counter the tanginess present in the sauce by a little.

Place finely chopped dill leaves then place in a small bowl. Add all the other ingredients into the bowl and mix until well combined. Adding olive oil or cayenne pepper is optional.
