dilled
Flavored with herb
Dilled describes food prepared or flavored with dill, the herb with feathery leaves and a distinctive tangy taste: dilled potato salad, dilled cucumber slices, dilled salmon.
The word functions like other herb-based adjectives—garlicked, peppered—though dilled appears most often with pickles, fish, and cold salads.
