Expert Tips
- I suggest using fresh dill for best flavor. Rinse and thoroughly dry your dill. Then remove the thick stems and chop the dill. Dill releases it's flavor quickly so a rough chop is all you need. To make it even easier, use kitchen scissors.
- If using full-fat Greek yogurt, you may need to add an extra touch of extra-virgin olive oil or water to thin it out to the consistency you prefer.
- When using leftovers, give it a quick stir after removing it from the fridge.
- Refrigerator - Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. A mason jar works perfectly. Or grab these single serve dressing containers for on-the-go. Perfect for meal prep.
