Treat your ingredients with care...

• Garlic — Make sure to mince the garlic cloves finely to ensure a smooth texture in the sauce. Crushing the garlic with the back of a knife before mincing can help release its flavors.
• Sour cream — Opt for full-fat sour cream for a richer and creamier sauce. Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute if desired, but it will alter the taste slightly.
• Lemon juice — Freshly squeezed lemon juice is recommended for the best flavor. Adjust the amount according to your preference for tanginess.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce.
• If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of milk or water to the sauce.
• The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Experiment with different herbs and spices such as dill or paprika to customize the flavor of the sauce.
• Use the back of a spoon to spread the sauce evenly over grilled meats or as a dressing for salads.
