- 1/3 cup (2 1/2 ounces) toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

- To toast walnuts, dry roast them in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

- Adjust seasoning with additional lemon juice or salt to taste before serving.
