With bright, fresh flavor, this Lemon Dill Dressing (is super easy to throw together and is delicious on greens and veggies as well as chicken, fish and shrimp!

This is absolutely delicious - tastes like spring - which I am so ready for. Didn't change a thing and can't wait to make it again!

We love to serve the Lemon Ginger Salad dressing on this Arugula Orange Salad but it pairs nicely with any green salad.
This is incredibly delicious over roasted cauliflower, and I can't wait to use it on grilled chicken!
This lemon dressing is so great - it’s why I subscribed. I just used it for a post covid treat for someone suffering with no taste/smell. Some puff pastry (from the store) added spices, feta, and the yummy/tang of this lemons dressing. Delicious!
This beautiful Lemon Basil Poppy Seed Dressing is bursting with vibrant flavor. It’s fabulous drizzled over salads, entrees and veggies!
We've used the Lemon Basil Poppy Seed Dressing on this pretty-as-a-picture Strawberry Spinach Salad and lots of other salads. It adds a pop of pizzazz to anything you drizzle it on!
A thousand times better than boring ranch, this Lemon Basil Buttermilk Dressing is the perfect way to add pizzazz to salads, baked potatoes, french fries, veggies, etc.
Here are a few thoughts from our readers regarding this dressing:
Hi, this is my first time dropping a comment! I just want to shout that THIS DRESSING IS AMAZING!!!!!!! Even my kids love it!!! They've been munching vegetable sticks and chunk dipping into this dressing AND they're still asking for a bowl of salad!!! Thank you so so much for this recipe!!
This dressing is out of this world!!!! All I needed to buy was the buttermilk. I make pesto and freeze it in ice cube trays, pop the cubes out and store them in a freezer bag. I can toss one in soup or sauce or on a panini and in this fabulous dressing.
So pick up a sack of lemons and try out some of these recipes. All who gather around your table will be happy you did!
Thought for the day:
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And earth has nothing I desire besides You.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:25-28
