1/2 cup fresh dill

Process until dill is chopped and dressing is emulsified. You may need to add more lemon juice or olive oil depending on your taste. Add dressing the carrot-cabbage mixture, making sure to get all the dill in, and toss until well coated. Crumble feta cheese in salad and gently toss again to incorporate feta. Do not over toss once cheese is added.
