Ingredients you will need

If you don’t have fresh dill you can substitute 1/3 teaspoon of dried dill. The flavor of dried herbs is far more concentrated than fresh.

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!
