Marie's Dill Recipes

Yogurt Sauce

2 cucumbers, diced (green left on optional) English type work well
1 Tbl lemon juice
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 - 2 tsp chopped garlic (to taste)
1 Tbl fresh dill


Yogurt Cucumber Side Dish

1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup sour cream
2 Tbl lemon juice
2 Tbl fresh dill
Garlic to taste

1 English cucumber with 1 Tbl salt - chill then drain before adding to yogurt mixture.


We also learned how to make herb vinegars at the library classes a couple of years ago. I made a Dill Vinegar by filling a clean bottle with lots of fresh dill then adding white vinegar to the top and cap it. Place it in a dark place like a closet for 3 weeks. Voila - Dill Vinegar to use for cole slaw, potato salad, etc.
