LEMON DILL DRESSING



Lemon Dill Dressing image

This came from Good Seasons, I think, when I bought a cruet. It goes really well on any salad or fresh greens, but I particularly like it over baby spinach. It doesn't take too much. The lemon juice gives it quite the bite. It also makes for a tasty marinade for chicken or fish. (Be sure to note that the nutritional info listed is for the entire cup of dressing, not the little bit you'd actually be putting on your salad.)
