    How to make the dill salad dressing - step by step

    In a bowl or a mason jar add all the ingredients

    Whisk or give it a good shake to combine all the ingredients together.

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

    note: you can also use the food processor if you want a smoother texture.

    FAQ

    Can I substitute canola oil with another type of oil?

    Absolutely! While canola oil offers a neutral flavor that allows the other ingredients to shine, you can experiment with different oils. Extra virgin olive oil and vegetable oil can be suitable alternatives.

    Is there a substitute for rice vinegar?

    If you don't have rice vinegar on hand, you can replace it with white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. However, keep in mind that the flavor profile may slightly differ.

    How long does the dill salad dressing last?

    When stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the dill dressing can last for up to one week. 

    Can I use this dressing on other dishes besides salads?

    Absolutely! While this dill dressing is fantastic on salads, it can also elevate other dishes. Try using it as a marinade for grilled chicken or vegetables, or even as a topping for roasted potatoes. 

    can I use fresh dill instead of dried dill?

    Yes, absolutely! Fresh dill can be used in place of dried dill in this recipe. When substituting fresh dill for dried dill, keep in mind that the intensity of the flavor may vary. As a general guideline, you can use three times the amount of fresh dill compared to dried dill. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of dried dill, you can use 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of fresh dill.

    Tips

    1. Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner dressing, you can add a bit more oil or vinegar to achieve the desired consistency. Conversely, if you prefer a thicker dressing, reduce the amount of oil slightly. Don't be afraid to adapt the recipe to your liking.
    2. Always taste your homemade salad dressing as you go. The measurements provided in the recipe serve as a guideline, but everyone's palate is different. Adjust the amount of dill, sweetness, acidity, or any other ingredient to suit your taste preferences.
    3. After preparing the dressing, let it sit for at least 15-30 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together and intensify, resulting in a more harmonious taste experience.
    4.  Give it a good shake or stir before using it again, as the ingredients separate slightly over time.

    Variations

    1. Creamy Dill Dressing: To create a lusciously creamy dressing version, add ¼ cup of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream to the original recipe. Whisk it in along with the other ingredients, and enjoy the rich and creamy texture it brings to the dressing.
    2. Spicy Dill Dressing: If you crave a bit of heat, infuse your dressing with a kick of spice. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the original recipe. Adjust the amount according to your desired level of spiciness.
