Expert Tips & FAQs
- I mentioned above that you can use dried dill instead of fresh, but I highly recommend getting the fresh variety. The flavor is just so much better.
- In order for the flavors to mingle, it’s best to let this dill dressing sit in the fridge for at least a couple of hours before using. You certainly can use it right away if you wish!
- While this dill dressing is great on salads, you can also serve it with fried fish, or put in a bowl surrounded by fresh veggies for a great dill dip!
I love the refreshing taste of this homemade dill dressing and would take it any day over store bought! This delicious salad dressing can be kept in the fridge for up to one week. I hope you like it.
