- If you don't have fresh dill, use on tablespoon dried dill weeds in this salad.
- Taste the salad as you go, if it needs more salt, add a pinch and mix well to incorporate flavors.
- The zaatar dressing for this salad is so tasty and easy to make. You can make it ahead of time and use when needed.
