This homemade Lemon Dill Dressing recipe is the perfect flavor pairing for green salads, pasta salads, grilled fish, chicken, pork and more! Versatile and delicious, this Lemon Dill Mustard Dressing takes all of 5 minutes to whip up.
Dill has always been one of my favorite herbs and it’s one that I grow every year in my garden. I love including it in a wide variety of dishes but this adding it in dressings is simply a meant-to-be match. This homemade dressing also incorporates mustard, another great match, and is deliciously versatile.
How to Use Lemon Dill Dressing
Dill pairs beautifully with lemon and mustard – the flavor combination in today’s dressing – and this marriage of flavors goes wonderfully with a variety of foods including salads, chicken, pork, fish and seafood.
Try tossing this dressing on a leafy green salad, pasta salad, drizzling it over grilled fish or chicken, or serving it with steamed vegetables or boiled potatoes. Ā

WHO WOULDN’T LOVE THIS .,
Hi. Buy Fern Dill seeds. They are the bushy ones that you buy in store. The ones that shoot high and seed are used for pickling.
Thanks for the recipe. I added a bit of mint and shallots and pinch of MSG for a extra oomph. Went well with leafy mix!
My mom will lose her mind over this dressing! Two of her favorites! Lemon & Dill!
I think I’ll use this on our salmon tonight!
Definitely a keeper! My herb garden is currently without dill, but that is about to change š
I love tangy oil based dressings like this! Can’t wait to try this recipe.
This is amazing!! Such a perfect flavor combo! Will definitely try this!
I’m a huge fan of fresh dill. This is a complete winner!
I don’t think I’ve actually ever used dill! I need to try this.
A good dressing is very important for a good salad!I love dill and I think this dressing would be perfect with a cabbage salad. :)
