dill sauce

Dill condiments appear in several textures and forms: thin, pourable sauces; pureed sauces; thick, scoopable creamy dips; and relishes with crunchy pieces (cucumber, cabbage and sometimes red pepper) in a pickled/brine base.

A typical dill relish is crunchy pickled vegetables—often cucumber and cabbage—immersed in vinegar or brine. It frequently includes chunks of red bell pepper and garlic, yielding a tangy, crisp relish texture rather than a smooth dip.

Packaging ranges from squeeze bottles to reclosable tubs and rigid containers. Many sauces come in easy-squeeze bottles; dips are often in tubs with resealable lids. Some rigid squeeze caps have been noted as harder to dispense, so packaging can affect ease of use.
