• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• ¼ cup chopped green onion
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, washed & dried
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• Fresh dill sprigs for garnish, if desired

Directions
