Notes
A couple of tips for this recipe:
- You can use fresh or dried dill in this salad. 1 Tbsp of fresh dill equals about 1 tsp of dried dill, so feel free to switch that out to whatever is available.
- You can substitute sweet Vidalia onion for the red onion. I love the red, but the sweet are good too if that is what you have on hand.
- The recipe calls for lemon juice, but if you are not a lemon fan, skip the lemon juice and just use rice wine vinegar!
- I find this salad is best fresh so I make it right before I want to serve it. You can make the dressing ahead and keep it in the refrigerator so it’s quick to toss at meal time.
