Creamy Dill Sauce with Salmon or Trout

A fantastic quick meal! Dill Sauce is refreshing, rather than heavy as many "creamy" sauces can be, because it is made with sour cream. The slight acidity is a great pairing with salmon or trout which are quite rich and oily.

Creamy French Dressing

This is Papy's recipe for a creamy French salad dressing. Rather, it's bright and a bit tangy. Toss with leafy leaves for an instant French Salad, make Papy's lovely French Bistro Baby Gem Salad, or drizzle over steamed greens to make them instantly more delicious. It would also be fabulous for a pasta salad or potato salad! Makes 6½ Tbsp (just over 1/3 cup), enough to dress a side salad for 4 to 5 people.
