Simply mix all the above ingredients together. The quantities given above
produce a mild flavoured sauce which is a wonderful accompaniment to smoked
salmon. Everything should really be added 'to taste' adding more if a
stronger flavour is required.

Notes: The choice of ingredients on the first line simply pick your
favourite. I find they all produce similar results most of the flavours
come from the added ingredients. Mayonnaise probably gives a stronger
flavoured sauce. An ordinary low fat youhurt may be used to make a reduced
calorie version. If soured cream is not available, a good alternative is
produced using double cream. Add a few dashes of lemon juice (about 12tsp)
and leave to stand for 10 minutes or so. Stir in the juice, and the cream
will rapidly thicken.
