- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.
Peel and mince the garlic clove until it becomes a fine paste. You can use a small pinch of salt while mincing to help achieve a paste-like texture.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
Mix everything together thoroughly using a whisk or a spoon until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the sauce to an airtight container.
Let the sauce rest in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a dip, drizzle, or topping for your favorite dishes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
