Lemon Dill Mustard Dressing

Dill has always been one of my favorite herbs. Â I’ve had success in growing nearly all of my culinary herbs from seed and planting them in my herb garden, but dill has been a challenge. Â I’ve been trying to grow it for the past three years and just haven’t had much luck. Â I mean, it will grow just fine, but the plant ends up shooting straight up without filling out, even though I try to prune it to encourage growth. Â I’m giving it another go this year and will be turning to some gardening literature on how to properly grow dill. Â I’m crossing my fingers I have more success this time!
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 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. Â Versatile and delicious, this Lemon Dill Mustard Dressing takes all of 5 minutes to whip up.
Let’s get started!
Add all the ingredient, except for the oil, in a bowl and whisk until combined. Â Gradually drizzle in the oil while whisking constantly until the dressing is emulsified.
Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
