Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons fresh minced dill
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, add the sour cream, fresh minced dill, grated garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Whisk all ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  4. Serve immediately with your favorite dish or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

- 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.
- I find that letting the dill sauce chill for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making it taste even better.
