Simple & flavorful, yogurt dill sauce is the perfect sauce for everything from fish to vegetables to sandwiches! This mediterranean sauce comes together in less than 5 minutes and has a delicious creamy flavor you’ll love.
The more I make homemade dips and sauces, the more I wonder why it took me so long to start! I love how homemade condiments come together so quickly and instantly elevate any dish.
This is my favorite sauce to serve with fish (you’ve got to try it with sardine fish cakes!), though it also pairs perfectly with so many other foods! I love making it with homemade yogurt, but you can use whatever kind of yogurt you prefer.

FAQs
Both sauces are very similar, however, the primary difference is that tzatziki uses cucumber while yogurt dill sauce does not.
