Did we mention that this sauce requires no stove time? Just a little mixing and it’s ready to go! Start things out with a base of rich mayo and tangy Greek yogurt to make things extra creamy. From there some bright lemon juice balances things out, then garlic powder and some minced garlic add a delicious kick. But the real star of the show is the fresh dill for a strong herby flavor. While you could use dried dill in a pinch, we highly recommend tracking down the fresh stuff for the best results.

One of the things we love most about this recipe is how easy it is to throw together. Just pop all the ingredients into a mason jar, screw the lid on tight, and give it a good shake—no blender, no bowl, no fuss. It’s ready in under five minutes, and it keeps beautifully in the fridge for days, so it’s always ready when you are. Perfect for those moments when you want something homemade but don’t feel like a big production! Whether you’re serving it with baked salmon, roasted taters, or just with some veggie sticks, we know you’ll love this Dilly Dally Sauce.
