Hi there, Ameera here!
This week’s Whip It Up Wednesday is one of my favorite dressings! It’s also pretty versatile too. We first made this dressing with our Roasted Potatoes with Seasoned Lentils and Dill Sauce, which is on my list of Top 10 all-time favorite dishes of 2018.
This dressing is creamy, tangy and bursting with “dilly” goodness. If you love dill like I do, then you will fall in love with this dressing too.

Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons organic maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon tahini
- ¼ cup water *
- ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar *
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion flakes
- 1 Tablespoon miso *
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (+/- to taste) *
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (+/- to taste)
- 4 Tablespoon fresh baby dill, chopped (or one .75 oz. package)
Instructions
- Place all the Ingredients (except the fresh dill) into a high-speed blender and blend on high for one minute or until creamy and smooth. Note: A high-speed blender is not required but makes for a very smooth emulsified dressing. Then place the dressing into a bowl, then stir in the freshly chopped baby dill. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
*White Wine Vinegar: We find that vinegar brands vary based on flavor and tartness. Please adjust the amount of white wine vinegar used in this recipe based on your brand of vinegar. Taste the white wine vinegar, if your white wine vinegar has a strong acidity/tartness, use less to start with, and add more if needed. We used a very mellow brand of white wine vinegar.
*Water/White Wine Vinegar: If you like more zing, add more white wine vinegar and less water and vice-versa if you prefer less zing.
*Miso: We used Miso Master Organic Mellow White Premium Lite Miso, Certified Gluten Free. Miso really lends itself to balancing flavors when you don’t use oil. You can also substitute with chickpea miso for a soy free version.
*Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
*Makes: ¾ cup
*Storage: Refrigerate, use within 7 days.

I love this recipe. I haven’t been starting any new projects as of late but this is going to be the next recipe I recreate! Hopefully I can make it look as good as yours.
Hi there Billy 🙂
Awesome! We are so thrilled that you loved this recipe. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and taking the time to write!

I really like this as a dressing on soy curl “chicken” salad. I didn’t have tahini so I used a quarter cup of cashews instead.
Next time I may use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder as we really love garlic but great as is too
Hi there Samantha 🙂

Question, any suggestions for replacing the white wine vinegar, I have eliminated vinegar as well.
thank you
Hi there Alicia 🙂
Thank you so much for reaching out to us. It is really difficult to replace vinegar in a salad dressing. You can try lemon juice, but with the understanding that it will completely change the flavor and texture.
