This easy and refreshing dill vinaigrette dressing is perfect for any salad. This dressing is also great as a marinade for chicken or fish, or as a dip for vegetables.
This is the type of salad dressing you want when you want to taste the freshness of the lettuce and vegetables. It adds to but does not overpower the flavor of the vegetables. Another simple homemade dressing I make is this Easy Balsamic Dressing. If you like a creamy mayonnaise based dressing, take a look at how I make My Mom's Potato Salad.

Ingredients
Dried dill weed - This is a great seasoning to keep handy for dressings and dip. Dill is such a great flavor!
Dry mustard flour - This is a ground-up mustard seed.
Salt - regular table salt or any finely ground salt you have at home.
Sugar - just a small amount to balance the ingredients.
Apple Cider Vinegar - many believe this vinegar has health benefits.
Substitutions
If you don't have apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, or even a tart balsamic vinegar (the cheaper kind) will work well.
Dry mustard flour is ground mustard seeds. If your spice label says ground mustard seeds, it's the same spice and is an equal substitution.
Instructions
Step 1
In a covered container such as a 12 oz mason jar, add all ingredients. I typically add all the liquids first then add the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Put the lid on and shake. You want the oil and vinegar to emuslify and the dried ingredients to be well incorporated.

FAQs
Yes! The standard substitution for fresh herbs is 3 to 1. For each teaspoon of a dried herb you need, substitute three teaspoons of the fresh herb. It will be a lot of dill so you may want to adjust the amount to your taste.
You can easily substitute honey.
