- How to Store: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. This sauce will not freeze.
- This sauce would go phenomenal on any fish, seafood, chicken, or pork recipe.
- You can also add in ½ peeled small-diced shallot if you’d like more onion flavor.
- Substitute the 2 tablespoons of fresh dill with 1 ½ tablespoons of dry dill.
- Another great addition would be 1 tablespoon of prepared horseradish.
- Use 1 ½ teaspoons of garlic granules in place of fresh garlic.
- If the sauce is too thick, then thin with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk. When the sauce is too thin, add in 1 to 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise.
