Paula Recommends …Cucumber Dill Dressing

Dill is rich in antioxidants, vitamins like niacin, pyridoxine and dietary fibers, which help control blood cholesterol levels. Fresh dill is an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin C as well. Vitamin C helps the human body develop resistance to infectious agents and it scavenges harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals. Dill is also a good source of body-healing minerals such as copper, potassium, calcium, manganese, iron and magnesium. – Paula Meyer, Mission Training Center Nutritionist
