Our delicious dill microgreens are a delicate and flavourful variety of dill, offering a milder, fresher version of the classic herb. These microgreens have a bright, slightly tangy, and herbaceous flavour with the distinctive aniseed-like notes that dill is known for. The taste is aromatic, with hints of citrus and a gentle, almost sweet finish, which makes them a versatile and refreshing addition to many dishes.
Delicious Pairings for Dill Microgreens include:
Seafood: Dill and seafood are a classic pairing. Dill microgreens add a fresh, citrusy kick to seafood dishes, balancing the richness of fish and shellfish. Try them on grilled or smoked salmon, trout, or mackerel. They also work wonderfully with shrimp, crab cakes, or in seafood salads, particularly when paired with lemon or a light vinaigrette.
Potato Dishes: Dill microgreens are a perfect complement to potato-based dishes. Add them to mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, or potato salad for a refreshing herbal contrast to the earthiness of the potatoes. A simple potato salad with dill, mustard, and a light dressing will highlight their delicate flavour.
Cucumbers and Pickles: Dill and cucumbers are another traditional pairing. Dill microgreens can be added to cucumber salads, cucumber sandwiches, or wraps, bringing a fresh burst of flavour. They also pair well with pickled cucumbers, bringing an extra layer of herbal brightness that works alongside the tangy, vinegary notes.
Egg Dishes: Dill microgreens are a lovely addition to egg-based dishes. They’re perfect sprinkled over scrambled eggs, omelets, or frittatas. The fresh, herby flavour also works well in egg salad or deviled eggs, particularly when paired with a bit of mustard or mayonnaise.
Greek Dishes: Dill is a staple in Greek cuisine, and its microgreen form works beautifully in Mediterranean dishes. Try it on a Greek salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta. Dill microgreens also add a burst of flavor to tzatziki sauce, hummus, or Greek yogurt, creating a fresh, tangy accompaniment.
Sandwiches and Wraps: Dill microgreens can enhance a variety of sandwiches and wraps, especially with ingredients like smoked salmon, turkey, chicken, or roasted vegetables. They provide a fresh, herby contrast to creamy spreads like cream cheese, tzatziki, or mayonnaise, and are especially good in bagels with lox.
Cheese Pairings: Dill microgreens work wonderfully with soft, creamy cheeses like cream cheese, goat cheese, or ricotta. They also pair well with sharp cheeses like aged cheddar or feta. These microgreens can be used to top a cheese board or incorporated into a cheese spread.
Grilled Meats: Dill microgreens are a fantastic garnish for grilled meats like lamb, chicken, or turkey. Their fresh, tangy notes cut through the richness of grilled proteins, adding a touch of herbal brightness. They also pair well with tzatziki or yogurt-based sauces, which are often served with grilled meats.
Salads: Dill microgreens can be used as a fresh, aromatic addition to any salad. They add a lively, herbaceous flavour to leafy greens, and their slight tang makes them an excellent complement to creamy or tangy dressings. Try them in a cucumber and tomato salad, or in a more substantial grain salad with quinoa, farro, or bulgur.
Soups: Dill microgreens are a wonderful garnish for soups, particularly creamy or potato-based soups like potato leek or cream of dill soup. Their fresh, aromatic flavour brightens up the richness of the soup and adds a light herbal note. They also pair well with broths, especially in vegetable or chicken soups.
Smoothies: For a savoury smoothie, dill microgreens can be paired with cucumber, celery, and a touch of lemon or lime. Their herbal notes bring a refreshing, light flavour to green smoothies, balancing out stronger ingredients like kale or spinach.
Pasta and Noodles: Dill microgreens make an unexpected but delightful garnish for pasta dishes, particularly those with cream-based or lemony sauces. Try them on a lemon pasta, a creamy dill sauce, or even with cold pasta salads for a bright, herbal twist.
Dressings and Sauces:
Dill microgreens are a natural partner for creamy, tangy dressings. Try them with a lemon-dill vinaigrette, tzatziki, or a mustard-based dressing. They can also be blended into creamy sauces or spreads, enhancing the flavour of dips like sour cream, cream cheese, or yogurt-based dips.
