Tips:
- For a thicker sauce, use Greek yogurt or yogurt that has been strained to remove excess whey.
- Fresh herbs add a bright, flavorful taste to the sauce. Be sure to chop them finely so they don't overpower the other flavors.
- If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill. Just reduce the amount slightly, as dried herbs are more concentrated than fresh herbs.
- Serve the sauce immediately after making it, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use a high-quality olive oil to ensure the best flavor.
- Be sure to whisk the sauce until it is smooth and well combined.
