Notes

  • Extra Flavorful - I love to double the dill and add even more garlic to this recipe.
  • Pre-Packaged Herbs - To save time, buy dried versions of the herbs.
  • Extra Spicy - Add some red pepper flakes for even more heat.
  • Sour Cream - Reduce the mayonnaise by half and add either sour cream or Greek yogurt for a slightly different flavor.
  • Remove the Cilantro - If you're one of the people out there who thinks cilantro tastes like soap, just leave it out.
