Method

  4. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if desired by adding more salt, pepper, or dill. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Remove from refrigerator, give the salad a gentle stir, and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with additional dill if desired before serving. The final dish should be smooth, creamy, and evenly coated, with a pale yellow hue dotted with green herbs.
