When you need a salad that offers layers of flavors look no further than this quick and easy recipe for Cucumber Tomato Dill Salad. It’s made with cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion and dill dressed with a tangy vinaigrette.

The star ingredient for this recipe is dill and one of the herbs that I remember most when growing up.

Dill looks similar to Queen Anne’s Lace but only greener with beautiful long fronds and tendrils.

Dill in Garden

This part of the herb can be finely chop and sprinkled in salads, like this one. Or you can use it as part of a quick and easy Dill Dip or even as a garnish.

My mom would slip the flower tops into jars when she canned dill pickles. She also used chopped dill in soups and stews.

What I love about dill is its heady but fresh flavor that brightens up most dishes. But don’t use too much or it will overpower whatever recipe it’s a part of.

One of the best ways to highlight dill’s fresh taste is to include it in summer salads like this quick and easy Cucumber Tomato Dill Salad.
