Dill-icious Chicken Salad

More Dill-iciousness

Fresh dill adds a burst of aromatic flavor that can be used in a lot more foods beyond just pickles. Here are some delightful ways to utilize this surprisingly versatile herb:

• Salmon with Dill Sauce: Create a creamy dill sauce by mixing chopped dill with Greek yogurt or sour cream, lemon juice, and garlic. Serve it over grilled or baked salmon for an elegant dish!
• Potato Salad with Dill: Add some chopped fresh dill to a traditional potato salad along with diced red onions, celery, and a tangy mustard dressing. The dill adds a fresh, herbal note that enhances the flavors of the salad even more.
• Dill Butter: Yep — dill butter! Blend chopped dill into softened butter along with a squeeze of lemon juice and minced garlic. Spread this flavorful butter on warm bread or use it to finish main courses like grilled meats and seafood.
• Creamy Dill Pasta: Toss cooked pasta with a creamy sauce made from heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and plenty of chopped dill. Add peas or sautéed spinach for extra color and flavor.
• Dill Infused Oil or Vinegar: Infuse olive oil or white wine vinegar with sprigs of fresh dill to create a fragrant condiment for salads, roasted vegetables, or marinades.
• Cucumber Dill Yogurt Dip: Combine grated cucumber, chopped dill, Greek yogurt, garlic, and a splash of lemon juice to make a refreshing dip for fresh vegetables or pita chips.
