Dill Dressing:

• 1/3 cup minced fresh dill
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar or lemon juice
• 1-1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp. honey or rice syrup
• 1/2 cup flax seed oil

In a bowl or blender mix everything except the flax oil. Trickle the oil in slowly while blending or whisking vigorously, until the dressing is thick and smooth. Keep extra dressing refrigerated in a dark bottle for later use. Try it over salad, grains, vegetables, fish, etc.

Ginger Dressing:

• 3 Tbsp flax seed oil
• 1 to 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp. fresh grated ginger

Whisk ingredients together and store in the refrigerator in a dark bottle. Great as a light dressing over lettuce, grains, vegetables, etc.

Tamari Dressing:

• 2 to 3 Tbsp wheat-free tamari
• 2 to 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 to 3 cloves garlic, minced

Adjust the proportions to taste. For a more unique flavor add a few pinches of one or more of the following: onion powder, oregano, basil, or curry powder. Be creative!
