Hi, Rhubarbarians! Sharing ten of my all time fave fresh dill recipes that aren't pickles!
Dill is one of my go-to herbs when I want to make something that tastes fresh, bright, and really flavorful. It's one of the most underrated herbs, in my opinion!
Although dill is usually associated with pickles, it can be used in many dishes. Soups, salads, sandwiches, dips, even drinks!
Why you'll love these
If you're a dill lover like me, then you know how dill adds a bright, fresh flavor to a dish. It's unique flavor is somewhat tarragon, somewhat anise, somewhat grassy.
All of these recipes are elevated thanks to that unique flavor of dill. Even a bowl of hearty soup can be transformed into a brightly flavored soup with the addition of fresh dill!
So, if you've got a lot of dill to use up and don't want to make pickles, give these fresh dill recipes a try!
When is dill in season? Dill is in season during the warm summer months when the fern like leaves are growing. However, it is available year round at most grocery stores.
How to substitute dried dill
Fresh dill is far superior in flavor to dried dill, so it isn't recommended to substitute it. Especially because fresh dill is available year round at most grocery stores.
If you've got dried dill that you'd like to use, the ratio for most herbs is 1 Tablespoon fresh = 1 teaspoon dried.
Recipes
Here are ten vegetarian and vegan fresh dill recipes!
1. Vegan split pea soup with dill
This is a fabulous vegan version of Danish split pea soup. The addition of dill adds brightness, while the crispy onion topping adds richness. The result is a soup loaded with flavor.
2. Chickpea salad sandwich with grapes and dill
Chickpeas are incredibly versatile and really take on the flavors of the ingredients you mix them with. So, for this one we added lots of fresh dill, celery, carrot, and just a bit of mayo to make it taste super classic.
3. Roasted spring onions with dill butter and lemon
These onions are slathered in dill butter, roasted until soft, and then finished with a squeeze of lemon juice. They are fabulous as a side dish!
Want to try vodka that tastes like pickles? Here's how to infuse your own with fresh ingredients at home!

French green lentils as a main sandwich ingredient? Yes! Add some spring veggies, dill, and ricotta, and you've got a great lunch.
This sauce combines the briny and buttery flavor of castelvetrano olives with fragrant fresh herbs to make a really yummy and flavorful pesto. Switch out that tomato sauce and give this one a try!
7. Roasted spring veggie toast with goat cheese
The flavor of spring green veggies with goat cheese is an amazing flavor combo like no other. Add some fresh herbs and it all marries together beautifully.
8. Vegan potato salad with peas and herbs
I am absolutely a lover of the classic cookout potato salad with lots of mayo and hard boiled egg. But, this vegan herb dijon version is so much lighter and equally as delicious.
9. Savory dutch baby with herbs and goat cheese
Roasted spring onions in a puffy, delicious dutch baby pancake. With herbs and goat cheese on top. An amazing dish!
