Yoghurt and Crème Fraîche Dressing with Lemon, Horseradish, Dill and Mint

Jump to Recipe

A fresh, light, herby, dressing with the warmth of horseradish, the tang of lemon, a hint of anise from the dill and the sweetness of mint. Delicious with fish for a lunch or supper and ideal on a warm summer’s day.

Try with Oven Baked Salmon with Lemon, Dill and Mint accompanied by new potatoes served with a dab of butter and Asparagus and Tender Stemmed Broccoli Roasted with Lemon Rind.

I make this in the food processor:

  • blitz the herbs
  • add remaining ingredients and blitz again
  • all done!

If you do not have a food processor, you can finely chop the herbs, grate the lemon rind and mix with the remaining ingredients. Easy peasy.
