Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Complementary Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Gather a medium mixing bowl and prepare the base ingredients – mayonnaise, freshly chopped dill, tangy lemon juice, and zesty Dijon mustard.
- Add each ingredient into the bowl, ensuring precise measurements for balanced flavor profile.
- Utilize a whisk to thoroughly incorporate all components, blending until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency with no visible separation.
- Carefully transfer the sauce into a sealed container, pressing out any excess air to maintain freshness.
- Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes, allowing the herbs and citrus notes to harmonize and intensify the overall taste experience.
- Before serving, give the sauce a quick stir to reintegrate any settled ingredients and ensure optimal flavor distribution.
- Use as a vibrant accompaniment to seafood, grilled proteins, or as a refreshing dipping sauce for vegetables and appetizers.
Notes
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the tangy flavor profile and allow herbs to infuse completely.
- Customize heat levels by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for extra zest.
- Ensure fresh dill provides the brightest taste; dried herbs can substitute but won’t deliver the same vibrant punch.
