Pro tips

For the best flavor, use fresh dill. Dried dill can be substituted in a pinch, but reduce the quantity to 1 tablespoon.
If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, use garlic powder instead of fresh, starting with 1/2 teaspoon.
Letting the dill sauce chill for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld, making it taste even better.

This fresh dill sauce is a versatile condiment that will quickly become a favorite in your kitchen. Experiment with it on different proteins or as a dipping sauce for vegetables. Enjoy!
