Notes
- Whole milk yogurt: For a thicker sauce, strain the yogurt over cheesecloth or a coffee filter overnight. If you don't like the taste of yogurt, you can substitute sour cream.
- Dill: I recommend fresh dill if at all possible rather than dried.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 1 cup of yogurt sauce, enough for 4 (1/4 cup) servings.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
