Did you know that one of the first ingredients to your classic Dijons is a mixture of dill, rosemary, parsley, thyme, and basil?

And you might be wondering, how does a DijON taste so fresh?

To get you up to speed, we’ve compiled a list of ten common misconceptions about the sauce.

We’re not talking about a simple dill-dressing, either.

Dijones are made from tomatoes, basil, oregano, parsnips, basil leaves, dill seeds, garlic, thymes, lemon juice, rosewater, salt, and a few spices.

The basil adds a slight spicy kick to the DICKS and is not really a part of the DIJONS.

It’s not bad to use a little, but too much can make the dish bitter.

Instead use basil and rosewater and the sauce is still good.

If you are looking for a sauce that doesn
