Ingredients

  • 1 cup good quality mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, fresh dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into a small mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if desired.
  3. Serve or Store: Use the creamy dill mayonnaise immediately as a flavorful condiment, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days for later use.

Notes

  • Use fresh dill for the best flavor; dried dill will not provide the same bright taste.
  • The mayonnaise base can be swapped for a low-fat or vegan mayonnaise depending on dietary preferences.
  • Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
  • This sauce complements seafood, chicken sandwiches, and vegetable dips wonderfully.
  • Store in the refrigerator and always use a clean spoon to serve to extend freshness.
