Cool Yogurt that Pops with Lemon, Fresh Dill & Briny Capers

When dinner needs something cool and bright, this sauce does the trick. Plain Greek yogurt makes a creamy base, while lemon and fresh dill bring plenty of zip. Capers add little pops of salty, briny flavor, and a touch of garlic gives the sauce savory depth. Stir it together in minutes, then let it chill while the rest of dinner comes together.
