Creamy Dill Sauce

High Protein Creamy Dill Sauce

Who doesn't love a dill sauce over salmon or chicken? It's a great way, low effort way to elevate your proteins. This is an extremely quick, tasty and macro friendly sauce that absolutely delivers. You can make it with cottage cheese (like I did), or use plain greek yogurt.

Ingredients

• 50g lite cream cheese
• 60g skim milk
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
• 9g Dijon mustard
• 75g cottage cheese (whipped until smooth) 
  •  Or non fat plain Greek yogurt
• Juice and zest of ½ lemon
• 5g fresh dill, chopped (or ~2g dried)
• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth (this is key for texture).
2. In a pan, add the cream cheese, skim milk, Dijon mustard, crushed garlic, lemon juice + zest, dill, and salt. Cook over a low heat.
3. Constantly stir until fully combined and creamy. If you want it thinner, add a splash more milk.
4. When smooth, take off the heat and let cool slightly. Add the whipped cottage cheese (or yogurt), and serve!
