Notes
- Using Fresh Dill:
- Store - Find it at your local market in the produce section or grow your own.

- Farmers market - In the market, it comes in long stems with feathery leaves of the dill weed coming off the stem.

- Cut - I have found the easiest way to cut small amounts for recipes like this is to use kitchen shears or a pair of clean scissors. Clip the feathery leaves into approximately 1/8 inch pieces until you have the needed amount. Don't use the thick stems, just the feathery leaves.

- Refrigerate - If you can, allow the salad to fridge overnight; the flavor and fragrance of the dill grow stronger as it sits and enhances whatever dish you're using it in.
