This Greek-inspired salad would be a welcome addition to a picnic or light supper. Try it served topped with grilled shrimp or chicken. If dill isn’t your thing, fresh mint, parsley or chives would be great substitutes in this dish. Chock full of fresh vegetables this salad is as flavorful as it is healthy.
