# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in 10 minutes, which means you can make it while the oven preheats or guests are still on their way.
  • The tanginess of Greek yogurt cuts through richness in a way that makes you want another bite, and another.
  • Fresh herbs mean this tastes like actual food, not a packet of mysterious powder.
02 -
  • Fresh herbs are non-negotiable here; dried herbs taste dusty in comparison and will change your entire experience of this dip.
  • Don't skip the resting time—30 minutes might seem like a small detail, but the flavors truly do meld and taste noticeably better cold than warm.
03 -
  • Mince your herbs finely so they're evenly distributed throughout rather than in little clumps—use a sharp knife rather than a food processor, which can bruise delicate fresh herbs.
  • Taste as you go and don't be shy about adjusting salt and lemon; these are the two elements that make a dip taste like itself rather than like nothing.
