A versatile and flavorful condiment, dill dressing is often used to enhance the taste of salads, sandwiches, and roasted vegetables. The main ingredient in dill dressing is fresh dill, which imparts a bright, herbaceous flavor. Other common ingredients include sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, and mustard. Dill dressing is a relatively simple dressing to make, and it can be customized to taste by adjusting the proportions of the ingredients. For a tangier dressing, add more vinegar or lemon juice. For a creamier dressing, add more sour cream or mayonnaise. And for a spicier dressing, add a touch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.

Categories side-dish
Time 5h15m
Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toss the beets with the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper and spread out in a single layer on a second baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons water to the beets. Transfer the baking sheets to the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown, stirring halfway through. If the beets start to look dry, add a little more water. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing: Add the mayonnaise to a bowl and whisk in the buttermilk and mustard. Set aside.
- Transfer the cooked potatoes and beets (and any accumulated beet juices) to a salad bowl. Add the celery, green onions, dill, the dressing and some salt and pepper. Toss to coat well with dressing. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. Just before serving fold in the blue cheese.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs whenever possible. Fresh herbs offer the most flavor and will make your dressing taste its best.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. However, be sure to use only 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use fresh herbs.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil is the base of your dressing, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a nice flavor.
- Taste your dressing as you make it. This will help you adjust the flavors to your liking.
- Let your dressing rest for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Dill dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for salads, grilled meats, and fish. It's also a great way to add flavor to sandwiches and wraps. If you're looking for a new dressing to try, I highly recommend giving dill dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
