For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of freshly ground black pepper to the dressing. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar or honey to the dressing. Fresh dill can be substituted for dried dill weed. Use 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, finely chopped. This salad is best served cold. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
