I got some organic dill seeds a while ago. I decided I wanted them in powder form to make them easier to use at a moments' notice for a wider variety of purposes. So, I blended them up, and now they look kind of like peat moss, but workable.
The freshly blended up seeds smelled like menthol, which was fascinating. I'm guessing that smell will subside over time.
I decided to make some kind of dressing with it. Here's what I added:
Dill seed powder
Black pepper
Granulated garlic
Key lime powder (from dried whole fruits, peels, seeds, and all)
Sweet pepper powder (from peppers we grew in 2021)
Pink sea salt
Parsley
Some white onion, cut into small pieces
Mayonnaise
I mixed it up and tasted it, and it was delicious! But, it didn't taste like salad dressing, nor like tartar sauce. It tasted like a dip or sandwich spread. I tried it on salad, and while it can pass for a makeshift salad dressing, I sensed it had better uses.
So, I spread the rest of it on bread and baked it in the toaster oven until it was well-done. The result tasted pretty good, and was more satisfying to my stomach than expected.
Anyway, I think the sauce/dip/spread might be good on something like a hamburger, a sandwich, or with chips. It might be good with fish, too (even though it's not tartar sauce).

So, lately, I've been obsessed with white onions. They're my new favorite. I wish I knew what breed they were, though (color only tells you so much about the qualities). I'm guessing they came from Winco, if that helps; they're a large kind.
I used to think red onions were my favorite, but I've discovered that I mostly like red onions fresh (I prefer other onions cooked).
These white onions seem all-purpose. They have a gentle taste and texture fresh. They have a *lot* of nice flavor when cooked in soups and stuff (e.g. in clam chowder with red potatoes). They're easy to cut.

Ingredients
Sliced Turkey (carved roast Turkey is best, but packing on layers of deli Turkey sandwich slices also works)
Cheddar cheese slices
Mayo
Cranberry chutney (or whole berry cranberry sauce)
Bread of choice
Spread margarine
Start by slathering some mayo on the inside of both pieces of bread. Yes both, we want our sandwiches nice and moist inside. On one side, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese, then a mound of sliced turkey. On top of the turkey, spoon on the cranberry sauce. Dont left it run over the edges. For the next step place another slice of cheese, make sure the edges of the cheese go further than the cranberry. When this melts it is going to envelop the cranberry inside, so as to not make a mess.
Top off with another slice of bread, then spread margarine on the outsides of both slices of bread. Butter would work here, but I suggest margarine because it has zero cholesterol.
Toast this on the skillet you would normally toast grilled cheese, keep the heat on low to allowed the insides to heat up before the bread burns.
Enjoy.

As can be seen in this pub chem directory page, Thymol (a natural derivative of thyme herb) has evidence of antimicrobial properties, and is accepted by the EPA for use as a natural fungicide.
It also shows some evidence for anti-inflammatory properties in test mice, in addition to being safe and tasty enough for use as a thyme-flavored food additive.
