Description

A refreshing and creamy Lemon Dill Yogurt Sauce that’s perfect as a tangy accompaniment for grilled meats, vegetables, or as a dip. Made with Greek yogurt, fresh herbs, and a hint of garlic and lemon, this sauce is quick to prepare and bursting with flavor.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped dill
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped parsley
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • ground black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Mix together: In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, chopped dill, chopped parsley, minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Let it sit: For optimal flavor, cover the sauce and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the herbs and garlic to infuse into the yogurt, melding the flavors nicely before serving.

Notes

  • This sauce is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon juice to taste depending on your preference for tanginess and pungency.
  • Great as a dip for vegetables, a topping for grilled fish or chicken, or a spread for sandwiches.
