- For the dressing mix the lemon juice, salt, pressed garlic, and 1 tbsp of the chopped dill (optional) and stir.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Sprinkle with hemp seeds on top. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat. This salad keeps well over the next day in the fridge. Just stir before serving.
