Historically, dill has been used for a variety of conditions, from bad breath and digestive issues to high cholesterol and high blood sugar. And while there is some evidence of its benefits for certain things, most of the studies have been done using a concentrated form of dill—so the jury is still out as far as its functional value. Considering the amount of dill you would typically eat in a meal—or as part of a dip—you're not going to get a lot of vitamins and minerals from dill, even though it does contain tiny amounts of some, including vitamin C, manganese, calcium, folate and iron. Dill is extremely low in carbs, fat, sugars, sodium and protein—clocking in at zero for fat and sugars (and almost zero for protein). Like most plants, dill contains antioxidants known for their anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects. Is This Recipe Soy-Free? Yes, the ingredients in this recipe are all soy-free. However, we always encourage you to read the labels on prepared foods (like mustard) to make sure there aren't any allergens that may have been snuck in there. Tips from the Test Kitchen Can I Use a Different Type of Mustard? We use Dijon mustard in this recipe, which is made with ground brown mustard seeds, white wine and vinegar. It has a sharp, tangy flavor and a creamy texture. It gives this sauce a smooth consistency and its flavor balances well with the honey and cider vinegar. If you prefer the sauce to have a thicker consistency, you can use stone-ground mustard, which has a coarser texture from crushed mustard seeds with a slightly milder flavor. I Don't Have Fresh Dill. Can I Use Dried Dill Instead? Yes, you can use 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried dill as a substitute for the fresh dill in this recipe. How to Use Dill Mustard Sauce Serve this sauce alongside a Cured or Smoked Salmon Appetizer Platter, drizzled on top of Smoked Salmon Stuffed Baked Potatoes and as a sauce for crab cakes or fish cakes. Spread it on sandwiches, add it to salads or use it as a dip for homemade fish sticks. Frequently Asked Questions Can I Make Dill Mustard Sauce Ahead? Yes, you can! Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to three days.
