Dried dill works fine. I’ve been making this for a long time (not exactly this recipe, but close enough). I always warm it on the stove until just bubbly. It gets glossy and super-good!

I substituted Greek yogurt for all of the sour cream, lime juice for lemon juice and used dried dill. I served it with salmon patties and avocado lime rice. It was delicious! Thank you for such a simple recipe.
