Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or spoon
- Garlic grater or microplane
- Small saucepan (if using butter for warming)
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- ¼ cup plain whole milk yogurt
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic finely grated
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons butter optional for a smoother, richer finish
Instructions
Mix The Base
- In a medium sized bowl, stir together the yogurt, sour cream, and mayo until the mixture is nice and smooth.
Add The Flavour
- Add in the lemon juice, grated garlic, onion powder, chopped dill, and Dijon mustard. Stir everything together so the flavours are evenly mixed.
Optional Warm It Up
- If you prefer a smoother, creamier texture, melt a bit of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add your sauce mixture and gently stir until it’s just warmed through about 1 to 2 minutes. Don’t let it boil; you’re just blending and softening the flavours.
Serve It How You Like
- For a cool, tangy dip or sauce, pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. If you’re after something warm and velvety, go ahead and serve it right away.
