Tiger Dill Sauce Recipe – Australian Special

Tiger Dill Sauce is a zesty, creamy condiment that adds a burst of fresh flavor with every spoonful. Blending sour cream and mayonnaise with chopped dill, a splash of lemon juice, Dijon mustard and garlic, this sauce delivers herbaceous, tangy richness. Optional capers introduce a briny kick that pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled meats or crisp vegetables. Chill it to deepen the flavor—it’s simple, versatile and elevates anything from a weeknight dinner to a special BBQ.

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:

1

Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and well blended.

2

Add Flavorings: Stir in the chopped dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. If using capers, add them at this stage.

3

Season: Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.

4

Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.

5

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 Options: Fresh dill gives the best flavor; if using dried dill, use less and adjust to taste since it’s more concentrated.

Lighter Version: Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream or mayonnaise if you want a healthier, lighter sauce.

Capers Use: Capers add a tangy, briny note—omit them if you prefer a milder flavor.

Flavor Adjustments: More lemon juice for extra brightness; a small amount of honey can balance acidity if needed.

Storage Advice: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir well before serving again.
