Add the fresh dill, lemon juice, capers, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to the bowl.
Using a spatula or hand mixer, blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Taste the spread and adjust the salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprig of dill or extra capers if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.
