I just love a great dill sauce. I love it on fish, chicken, steak, potatoes … you get the idea. Even though I absolutely adore dill sauce, I don’t always enjoy the high calorie and fat content brought on by the heavy cream, butter, etc. I made it my mission to reclaim my love for dill sauce by making a healthier version.

Nonfat Greek yogurt is a staple in my house. I use it to replace sour cream and heavy cream in a lot of my recipes. It provides the same richness and flavor without the additional calories.

This sauce is so easy to make and will take you less than 5 minutes to prepare. I hope you enjoy.

Recipe notes

Easy Dill Sauce will make approximately 2 cups of sauce. I normally use about ¼ cup per piece of meat, but you can use as much or as little as you want. I love to pair this sauce with grilled or baked salmon. Delish.
