What To Serve With It
Pairing this Lemon Dill Potato Salad with the right dishes can turn it into a standout meal. I love serving it alongside grilled meats like chicken or steak—the bright flavors cut through the richness perfectly.
Fresh salads, like a simple arugula or cucumber mix, add crunch and balance. For a summer barbecue, it’s a hit with burgers or hot dogs, and at picnics, it shines next to cold cuts.
Don’t forget crusty bread to soak up the dressing! It’s versatile, so trust your taste—whether you’re keeping it light or going all out, this salad fits right in.
