Grassy, minty, parsley-tasting, this aromatic herb has such a distinct grassy aroma and cucumber-caraway flavor that you either love it or hate it. However you feel about the feathery, fern-like wisps, dill is ubiquitous worldwide. It gives an indispensable edge gravlax, aioli and crudite dips, lobster and potato salads, chicken soup, mustard sauces and cooked green beans. Add to warmed foods right before serving so the heat doesn't dissipate the flavor.
