Notes

We prefer fresh dill in this recipe, but you can swap out dried if needed. See my measurements above.
This is a great salad to build off of; you can add and omit whatever you like.
This has to sit refrigerated for at least 2 hours to let the flavors marry to get the best taste out of this recipe.
You can absolutely double this to serve to more guests, this is one of our most requested recipes so we do it often.
