For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the dressing. If fresh dill is not available, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of dried dill, but the fresh dill truly elevates the dish. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Bell peppers, red onion, or even avocado would be delicious additions. To prevent the tomatoes from making the salad watery, you can gently squeeze out some of the excess juice before adding them. This salad is best served chilled. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
