Why You’re Going to Love This Yogurt Dill Sauce Recipe:

• TAKES 2 MINUTES TO MAKE: There is nothing easier than a flavorful condiment you can just throw in a bowl and mix together. Plus this adds flavor and an interesting component to all your favorite dishes.
• A HEALTHY SAUCE AND DIP OPTION: The Greek yogurt makes for not only a super creamy base, but it is also a high in protein and great for our digestive system. The fresh dill, lemon, and garlic also contain vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.

What Is Dill Sauce?

Dill Sauce is a thick and creamy sauce that is served with everything from fish to veggies to chicken. Traditionally it is made with a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh dill, and lemon juice.

My recipe uses Greek yogurt instead and adds fresh garlic and a little bit of dill pickle relish to amp up the flavors. This Yogurt Dill Sauce is never heavy but always fresh, tangy, and bright. You’re going to LOVE it!

Yogurt Dill Sauce Ingredients

This sauce is only 7 simple ingredients. Keep reading for more information and potential substitutions.

• Plain Yogurt: I use Greek yogurt because that is what I always have on hand. You can also use whole milk plain yogurt. Greek yogurt does tend to be tangier, which I love.
• Fresh Dill: Of course! I do not recommend dried dill (it just isn’t the same). Make sure you rinse the dill under cool water to remove any dirt and debris.
• Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed is the best.
• Dill Pickle Relish: This adds texture and a briney note to the sauce. Make sure you do not mistakenly use sweet relish.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic that is grated very fine is best. You can also use a garlic press or mince it with a knife (the smaller and finer the better). I do not recommend using garlic powder because the flavor is lacking.
• Salt and Pepper
