Spring is here with its colorful blossoms on the fruit trees, gorgeous flowers in bright colors, and lots of green--green leaves filling out those winter-bare trees, green blades of grass popping up, and plenty of lusty green veggies growing in the garden. Why not bring some of that zesty green into the kitchen with a salad dressing that turns a boring salad into pungent delight.

Prepare a nice variety of lettuces, and add some sinkers -- you know, those slices of carrots, celery, and radishes and chunks of cucumber, bell pepper, and jicama. Then just dress it all up with an easy blender dressing that makes a good salad great!

1. Combine salt, pepper, canola oil, sunflower seeds, lime juice, water, wine vinegar, green onions, and dill in a blender and blend, starting machine on slow speed for a few seconds. Switch to high speed and blend until smooth.
2. With machine running, slowly add the 2 T. canola oil, and blend for 30 to 40 seconds.
3. Pour into an attractive serving bowl, and ladle over your favorite salad ingredients. Store leftovers in refrigerator in a covered container. Makes 1 1/2 cups (355 ml.)
