Feathery, verdant dill weed grows year round, and has a mildly bitter low-level flavor. Traditionally, dill is used in yogurt sauces with cucumber, on salmon, in potato salads, mixed into cream sauces, and, of course, for pickling, but this herb is more versatile and can be used in modern and interesting flavor combinations. Try an herb-infused cocktail, or a lemon-dill tomato sauce for dipping seafood. Keep in mind that heat dulls the flavor and aroma of dill so add it at the last minute when cooking.
