Ingredients

¾ cup Sour Cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Milk or as needed
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
3 tablespoons Fresh Dill chopped
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
¼ teaspoon Salt or to taste
Freshly Ground Pepper to taste

Instructions

Place sour cream in a mixing bowl.
Add milk, lemon juice, chopped dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and freshly cracked pepper.
Whisk until well combined. Do the taste test and adjust the salt, pepper and lemon juice, only if you want.
Store in the fridge until ready to use.

Notes

Milk is optional, feel free to add water, or buttermilk, or just skip it.
You can go for dried dill in a pinch, but, the flavor just doesn't compare with fresh dill. So, I highly recommend you to grab fresh dill, if you can. 1 teaspoon dried dill equals 1 tablespoon fresh dill for this recipe.
You can always add a little bit of sugar, or honey (1 teaspoon or so..) for a slight sweetness, if you like!

Store: The sauce will keep up to 5 days in the fridge in a clean airtight container. . Give it a quick stir before serving or drizzling.

Freezing: You can freeze this sauce. Place it in a clean airtight container and freeze up to three months. Thaw the sauce overnight in the fridge, and then, whisk and serve!

To make vegan sauce: All you need to do is, simply use plant-based substitutions like vegan sour cream, yogurt or mayonnaise.
