I haven't tried any spectacular new recipes lately... nothing exciting enough to blog about! But this is the exception! I've wanted an oil and vinegar dill recipe for a long time. I found this recipe on allrecipes dot com and it's a good idea to go there to see the comments and suggestions people have about their attempt at the recipe.
My friend Agnes Thiessen generously gave me a bag of red lettuce and dill AND a cucumber this afternoon (and some cilantro but not for this recipe) so it's serious salad time. I threw in some grated carrot and green onion and added two tablespoons of this dressing. Delicious!

1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Notes:
I cringe at the smell of red wine vinegar and I wasn't about to spoil the beautiful lettuce I had, so I used Balsamic vinegar instead.
I used fresh dill and chopped up two teaspoons instead.
I only had an hour to let the flavors combine, so I'll be curious to see how much fuller the flavor will be tomorrow.
Perhaps a tiny bit on the sweet side, so maybe I'll go with 1 tsp of sugar next time.
