# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in about five minutes with zero cooking, which means you can make it while your guests are still parking their cars.
  • The tanginess of Greek yogurt means you skip all the heavy cream and still get that cloud-like texture everyone craves.
  • Fresh herbs make it taste like something you'd never expect to be this easy, with a brightness that lingers on your tongue.
02 -
  • Drying your herbs is not optional—wet herbs dilute the yogurt and make everything taste watered down.
  • The flavor deepens significantly after the dip sits in the fridge, so don't judge it on taste alone right after mixing.
03 -
  • Let the dip sit on the counter for ten minutes before serving if it's been in the cold refrigerator—it tastes so much better when it's not ice cold.
  • Use a fine microplane to zest a tiny bit of lemon over the top just before serving for a visual touch that makes people think you spent way more time on this than you did.
