Ingredients:

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried dill

Instructions:

    In a blender, combine the buttermilk, cream cheese, lemon juice, sugar, salt, fresh dill, and dried dill. Blend until smooth and creamy.
