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. ย

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. Definitely a keeper! My herb garden is currently without dill, but that is about to change ๐Ÿ˜€
