Notes
Prep Tips
- Full-fat Greek yogurt or sour cream gives this sauce the best texture and flavor.
- This sauce can be made right before serving, but for best results make this 2-3 days ahead of time and store in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to really meld. Reheat in the microwave or over medium-low heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally.
- If the sauce thickens during storage or reheating, add a little water until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Variations
- Use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt for a slightly different tangy flavor.
- Swap the dried dill for thyme or parsley for a different herb profile.
- Add minced garlic for extra savory flavor.
- Stir in sauteed onions for a deeper, more savory mushroom flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- Spoon over tortellini or your favorite pasta.
- Serve over mashed potatoes for a comforting side dish.
- Drizzle over steamed or roasted vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans, or asparagus.
- Pair with roasted turkey, chicken, or pork for an easy way to add flavor.
Storage
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often. Add a little water if needed to loosen the consistency.
- Freezing is not recommended because the yogurt or sour cream may separate. If necessary, freeze in a zipper-top freezer bag with the air squeezed out for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and stir well after reheating.
