Ingredients
Method
Prepare aromatics
- Finely mince or crush the garlic.
- Finely chop the dill.
Mix and chill
- In a bowl, whisk the yoghurt until smooth, then whisk in the buttermilk.
- Stir in the garlic, dill, salt and pepper until evenly combined.
- Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes so the flavours meld, then whisk again before serving.
Serving
Serve chilled as a salad dressing, vegetable dip, or spooned over grilled chicken or potatoes. Thin with a splash of buttermilk if a pourable dressing is preferred; keep thicker for dipping.
Storage
Refrigerate in a clean, sealed jar or bottle for up to 5 days. Stir before each use. Do not leave at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Freezing is not recommended.
