# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in the time it takes to chop herbs—no cooking, no stress.
  • That vivid green color makes it look fancy on any table, even though it's dead simple.
  • One batch of this dip has shown up at potlucks, weeknight snacks, and lunch boxes for three days running.
02 -
  • Don't over-blend or you'll end up with a bitter, oxidized mess—pulse, check, stop when it's still slightly textured rather than baby-food smooth.
  • Fresh herbs are everything here, so frozen or dried herbs will taste like a completely different dip, and not in a good way.
03 -
  • If you don't have a food processor, a blender works perfectly, though you might need to work in batches or add a splash of milk to help it move.
  • The secret to keeping it bright green is to use fresh, high-quality herbs and not to over-process—the moment it goes smooth, you're done.
