- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and olive oil. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and white vinegar to the yogurt mixture, whisking until fully incorporated. This will add a nice tangy flavor to the sauce.
Stir in the minced garlic, ensuring it is distributed evenly throughout the sauce.
Add the finely chopped fresh dill to the mixture. Mix thoroughly to allow the dill to infuse its flavor into the sauce.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust to taste if necessary.
Once all ingredients are well combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste.
Before serving, give the sauce a final stir. Serve chilled or at room temperature over your favorite dishes, such as baked potatoes, grilled fish, or chicken.
