Ingredients

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • ½ lemon (juice only)
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped dill
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Finely chop the fresh dill, and combine it in a bowl with yogurt, salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon into it, and stir to combine.
  • Keep the sauce refrigerated until you’re ready to serve it. This will extend the shelf life of the dish.

Notes

Fresh vs dried dill

In recipes like these, I tend to use fresh herbs, however dried herbs also work well.
Keep in mind that dried dill tends to have a stronger flavor than fresh dill, and you should therefore use a smaller amount. I recommend starting with a teaspoon, and adding more to taste.

Leftovers

You can store leftover yogurt dill sauce in an airtight container in a refrigerator for up to 5 days. The leftovers can be used in a variety of dishes, either as a sauce to serve with meat, in wraps, as a dip or as a salad dressing.
As this sauce is served cold and stores well, it’s perfect to make ahead if you want to save some time when preparing a meal.
