Creamy Dill is the perfect light dill salad dressing. The combination of Greek yogurt and milk creates a subtle, creamy base, which perfectly compliments all the different flavours of the salad.  Adding in lemon helps to thicken the milk, mimicking the flavour and texture of buttermilk. Fresh chives, parsley and garlic effortlessly combine with dill to enhance the light herb flavours of the dressing. Finally, Worcestershire sauce rounds out the other flavours and enhances them, adding a distinct pop of flavour.
