*** Starring: Dill ***

http://photo-dictionary.com/phrase/3772/dill.html
Dill is another wonderful herb. Usually, we associate dill with pickles or bread. A couple weeks ago, we thought that dill in a potato salad sounded good. We found a recipe on http://www.foodnetwork.com/ that was terrific.

Potato Salad with Dill


3 lbs pototoes, peeled

Cook the potatoes about 25 minutes. Do not overcook them. Drain and bring them back to the pot to completely dry. (I left mine in the colander and gently stirred them occasionally until they were room temperature.)


Combine:
2 stalks celery
1 c mayonnaise
1 small red onion, chopped
3/4 t salt
1/4 c fresh dill, chopped
1-2 T vinegar
1/2 lemon, juiced ( I did not squeeze my own for time's sake.)
1 T Dijon mustard

When potatoes are cooled, gently combine the sauce and potatoes. Serve room temperature. The recipe said that when the potatoes are chilled, they change textures. However, we had the leftovers the next day and could not tell much difference. I also halved the recipe and it worked fine. We loved it.
