- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons Dill, fresh, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely chopped

Pour in the fresh lemon juice and continue to blend, ensuring the juice is well incorporated.
Stir in the capers, fresh dill, and finely chopped red onion, mixing until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste, and give the mixture a final gentle stir to integrate all ingredients.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
