Notes
- I almost always double or triple the dill amount because I love dill. If you are like me then feel free to add more.
- You might need more lemon juice so adjust to your taste as well.
- If you want to use fresh squeezed lemon juice, usually you can get 2 tablespoons of lemon juice from one lemon.
