I usually keep the first part of the dark green part, and discard when it starts getting too tough. I usually wash the onions AFTER I've sliced them in case there is any dirt trapped inside. How to cut dill: I usually wash it well, then scrunch it into a ball and chop very finely with a sharp knife.Here's some info on the best dill substitutes in case you don't have any.Storage instructions: Only add the dressing just before serving. If you don't think you'll eat it all, keep the extra lettuce/onions/dill and vinaigrette covered in the fridge separately.
