Yoghurt dill dressing
Yoghurt dill dressing is a fresh, light dressing made with full-fat yoghurt, lemon and fresh dill. A small amount of garlic powder and cumin gives the dressing a gentle spiciness without overpowering the fresh flavour. This dressing goes well with cucumber, grilled fish, potato salad, green salads and grilled vegetables.

Tip
Preferably use full-fat yoghurt for a creamy dressing. For a thicker sauce, you can use Greek yoghurt. Then add a small splash of water or a little extra lemon juice if necessary to make the sauce thinner.
