Yogurt Dill Sauce Recipe
Description
The Yogurt Dill Sauce Recipe mixes Greek-style full-fat plain yogurt with freshly squeezed lemon juice and olive oil, incorporating minced garlic and fresh dill for herbal brightness. A pinch of kosher salt and black pepper round out the flavors. The preparation involves whisking all ingredients until thoroughly combined, resulting in a creamy, tangy sauce with a balance of acidity and herbaceousness.
This sauce offers a smooth texture with bursts of fresh dill and the zing of lemon juice, suitable as a topping, dip, or dressing. It provides a cool and flavorful contrast when paired with grilled meats, vegetables, or fish.
Leftover sauce should be kept in an airtight container and can be stored refrigerated for up to three days. Before serving leftovers, whisk to reincorporate any separation and add extra yogurt if the sauce has become too thin. It can be frozen for up to one month; thawing in the refrigerator may cause separation, but stirring and adding a bit of yogurt can restore texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk full fat plain yogurt, I use Greek Yogurt, whole
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons dill or more to taste, fresh
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until fully combined.
- Taste for seasoning and add more if you like.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days and whisk before serving.
- Add extra yogurt if sauce becomes too thin after storage.
- Freeze sauce for up to 1 month; thaw in refrigerator and stir to recombine separated ingredients.
