Once
believed to be protection against witchcraft,
Dill weed is traditionally heavily used in
German and Scandinavian cooking, and has become one of the most popular
herbs in American, especially in areas dominated by these ethnic groups.
Dill weed's flavor, lighter and sweeter than dill seed, along with its
bright green, feathery appearance, makes it a perfect addition to omelets,
cheese sauces, salad dressings and dips. Dill is traditionally added to
any dish with a white sauce, from potato salad to sour cream fresh
vegetable dip. Nice as a garnish, sprinkled on salad, soup, chicken.
