A gourmet dressing for when I long for the flavors of the French countryside, this golden blend adds life to any raw or warm salad but also works well with roasted or grilled veggies, potatoes, asparagus, and artichokes.

This dijon dressing recipe was adapted from the original in The Plantpower Way. Reprinted by arrangement with Avery Books, a member of Penguin Group (USA), a Penguin Random House Company.

Love it!! A great summer salad dressing. It's also delicious on pasta salad and on potatoes. It makes an easy french potato salad dressing.

Since I don't have dill, what other spice could I use instead?

Gigi

This is awesome! So easy and I used dried herbs as well. Artichokes bring out the flavor in the salad!

Robin

This was delicious. I didn’t have fresh dill so I used dried dill, but it was still a light & awesome dressing
