Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise. You can also use fresh dill if you have it on hand; just use about three times the amount of fresh dill as dried. If you want a tangier flavor, add more lemon juice gradually until you reach your desired taste. This dressing can be used on salads or as a dip for vegetables.
Serving Suggestions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. The flavors will meld and improve as it sits. Avoid freezing, as it may change the texture of the mayonnaise. Simply stir before serving again to refresh the consistency if it separates.
