  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Notes

This sauce can be made the day before and refrigerated until needed.
Whole, 2% or fat free yogurt can be used. The more the fat the more the calories but the sauce will be richer and thicker. 
Fresh parsley or mint can be used instead of dill.
