Notes
- Use plant-based mayonnaise and Greek yogurt to make this a delicious dairy-free lemon dill sauce!
- Use on your favorite fish, chicken, Mediterranean foods, veggies, potatoes and so much more! How will you use it?
- Variations
- Store dill sauce in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
- Use lemon dill sauce as a dip (keep it nice and thick)
- Lemon dill dressing, thin it out with a little milk, or half and half)
- As a dip, you may want to keep the sauce thick. However, thin the fresh sauce with a few tablespoons of milk or heavy cream for a light dressing.
- Add lemon zest for extra citrus flavor.
- Use only fresh dill for a more mild dill flavor or only dried dill for a stronger taste.
- Skip the mayo and use only Greek yogurt for a healthier sauce.
- Use reduced-fat Greek yogurt and mayo, if preferred.
- Sour cream is another alternative to plain yogurt or mayonnaise.
- Add Dijon mustard for extra tanginess and another layer of flavor.
- Replace the garlic powder with fresh garlic, minced.
