This dish is absolutely perfect for this hot, humid weather we’re having. It’s good for you, and it’s cool and refreshing. I made this a day ahead of time and allowed the flavors to all marry well before we had it as a side dish. I found the recipe from Ellie Krieger of the Food Network. I loved this recipe as well because fresh dill is one of my favorite fresh herbs, what a great flavor and smell.
