# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This dip transforms whatever you dip into it into something people suddenly cannot stop eating
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes with ingredients you probably already have
  • The bright herby flavor makes everything taste fresh and intentional
02 -
  • I once skipped the refrigeration step and served it immediately, the flavors were there but something was missing, that chill time is non-negotiable
  • Using dried herbs instead of fresh will completely change the character of this dip, it is still tasty but loses that magical brightness
03 -
  • Pat your herbs dry after washing them, excess water will make your dip weirdly thin
  • Grate your garlic on a microplane instead of mincing it for a smoother texture that distributes evenly
