Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. For a smoother sauce, use a garlic press to create a paste-like consistency.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
If using fresh dill, finely chop it and mix it into the yogurt sauce.
Whisk the ingredients together until well blended and smooth.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Let the sauce rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir before serving if needed.
