Instructions
Dill Sauce
- Whisk sour cream, mayo, and garlic in a small bowl.
- Add the fresh dill, lemon zest, lemon juice and pepper. Mix, taste, and add salt to taste. Adjust lemon and pepper to your liking.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream. Yogurt is tangier and may not need as much lemon juice.
- Vegan option: use dairy-free sour cream and vegan mayonnaise.
- If you don't have fresh garlic, substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder or garlic powder.
