Dill Tips 25g
Capture the fresh, grassy flavour of garden-picked dill. Our Dill Tips are the delicate, leafy part of the herb, carefully dried to preserve their bright, slightly sweet, and aromatic character. Perfect for garnishing salmon, stirring into dips, and finishing potato salads.
A sprinkle adds a fresh, summery note to countless dishes:
Seafood Classics: The perfect partner for gravlax, smoked salmon, fish pies, and grilled fish.
Dips & Sauces: Stir into tzatziki, sour cream, yogurt-based dips, and herbed mayonnaise.
Salads: A must-have for potato salad, cucumber salad, and creamy pasta salads.
Vegetables: Sprinkle over boiled new potatoes, roasted carrots, or grilled zucchini.
Eggs & Soups: Add to scrambled eggs, omelettes, or finish a creamy soup like borscht.
How to Use: For the best flavour, crumble the dried tips between your fingers as you add them to release their oils. Sprinkle over dishes just before serving so the residual heat can awaken their delicate aroma.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect their colour and delicate flavour.

1 tbsp lemon juice (optional for brightness)

Pro Tips:
