Ingredients
  

For the Dressing
  • 1/4 medium red onion Provides sharp and tangy flavor; shallots can be a milder substitute.
  • 1 clove garlic Adds pungency and depth; use garlic powder if fresh isn’t handy.
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar Balances the acidity with a hint of sweetness; honey or maple syrup makes a great substitute.
  • 1/4 tsp dried dill Offers essential herbaceous note; swap for fresh dill if available.
  • 4 tbsp olive oil Choose cold-pressed, dark glass-bottled for quality.
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar Provides necessary acidity; apple cider or red wine vinegar works as alternatives.
  • Sea salt and pepper To taste; always opt for freshly ground pepper.
