Notes

This is an absolute staple in our house. We love Mediterranean food and eat a lot of it, and this is a must. It is extra delicious the next day after everything has had time to mesh together.
Garlic-loving household here, so we add an additional clove or two.
Add as much dill as you want – it’s delicious and adds tons of flavor.
Make sure you let this chill for a while – it tastes so much better when it has time to mesh.
Best served with warm pita and vegetables.
