A bright, tangy, and creamy sauce that's incredibly versatile. Fresh dill and zesty lemon juice come together in a yogurt base, perfect for drizzling over grilled salmon, chicken, or as a dip for fresh vegetables.
In a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt, finely chopped fresh dill, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and extra virgin olive oil.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk vigorously until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may want more lemon juice for tang, or more salt to enhance the flavors.
For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the garlic and dill flavors to meld into the yogurt base. Serve chilled.
