Notes
- If you can't find dill: You can substitute fresh mint, fresh coriander, or fresh basil. Or check out more substitutes for dill.
- Garlic: You might have to experiment a little to find the 'sweet spot' as far as the amount goes. Remember it's raw garlic so go easy at first and add more if you then want to. I tend to go for no more than half a large clove. If the clove is smaller I might add a full clove or even a bit more.
- How to serve: Serve as a dip with halloumi fries, fingers of fresh bread (try Greek bread), zucchini fries, pita chips, and more. Alternatively, serve as a simple cold yogurt sauce over salmon or chicken, or in a sandwich or wrap. You can also serve instead of tsatziki sauce on the side with meatballs, Greek chicken, Greek potatoes - anything!
- Storing: You can make the dip/sauce ahead or store leftovers in the refrigerator well-covered for up to 4 days.
