Dill's savory flavor has been described as a mix of anise, parsley and celery, its aroma as a combination of citrus, fennel and mint. A versatile herb, dill is an excellent accompaniment to any fish dish.

Suggested Uses: 
Ground dill seed is generally interchangeable with the whole seed in recipes. It works well in pickling, herb butters, sauces, and with fish. Meat packers also use the ground seed for seasoning liverwurst, bologna and frankfurters.

Dill compliments salads (potato, coleslaw, macaroni) and salad dressings, dips, sauces and gravies, cottage or cream cheese, breads, soups, and egg, bean, chicken and meat dishes. Also try it in sweets like cakes, pastries and apple pie and with vegetables like beets, cabbage (especially sauerkraut), avocado, eggplant, parsnips, pumpkin, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, potatoes, green beans and tomatoes.

European cooks use dill liberally in salads, soups, sauces, spreads, and fish dishes, and the Greeks use it to season tzadziki, a summer cucumber salad.
