Creamy Dill Salad

April 17, 2013 by christine

What a day at work, ugh! One of those days where I didn’t even have a minute to catch my breath between putting out fires and I’m feeling the stress with everything I need to do tomorrow circling in my mind. It’s also been a super windy day making poor Miko frustrated about going outside.

And me frustrated because I want to break in my new running shoes, Nike Lunarglide+ 4.

But I’m not a fan of running in strong wind!

And because I decided to use a spiral slicer I haven’t used in ages for zucchini.

And got thinly sliced zucchini mush instead of angel hair zucchini noodles.

Sigh. Guess hubby needs to fix the blade on it again. I tried to salvage the mush by mixing in carrot ribbons.

To coat the mixture in another simple creamy dill sauce I threw together because I was craving dill.

Hemp Dill Sauce

  • 1/2 cup shelled hemp seeds
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp. dried dill weed
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup water

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Coat a 4 serving salad or spiral sliced zucchini in sauce.

I coated the zucchini mush and carrot ribbon blend in the sauce.

And topped a large serving with nutritional yeast for a fun dinner salad.

The sauce has a wonderfully tangy and bright flavor that’s perfect for spring. Now if I can just get the wind to settle down for a run!

      Thanks, I have two spiral slicers – the Paderno World Cuisine Tri-Blade and this one for angel hair, but it doesn’t always work that well! :-P
