Tiger Dill Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried dill)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
How to make Tiger Dill Sauce:
Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and well blended.
Add Flavorings: Stir in the chopped dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. If using capers, add them at this stage.
Season: Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve: Give the sauce a final stir before serving. It’s great with seafood, grilled meats, or as a dipping sauce for vegetables.
Recipe Notes:
Dill: Fresh dill provides the best flavor, but dried dill can be used if fresh is not available. Adjust the quantity to your taste preference.
Creaminess: For a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream or mayonnaise.
Capers: Adding capers gives the sauce a tangy and briny flavor. If you prefer a milder sauce, you can omit them.
Storage: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Adjustments: Feel free to tweak the ingredients to suit your taste. You can add more lemon juice for extra tang or a bit of honey for sweetness.
