# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you can slice vegetables, yet tastes like you spent actual time on it.
  • The tanginess of Greek yogurt makes you feel like you're eating something good for you, which you absolutely are.
  • It's a dip that doesn't leave you feeling weighed down—just refreshed and a little bit smarter.
02 -
  • Fresh herbs make or break this dip—dried herbs will leave you with a sad, dusty situation, so don't even try unless you're in a pinch.
  • The dip will taste better after it's been cold for a bit; rushing it warm from the counter means the flavors haven't had time to get to know each other.
03 -
  • Mince your garlic so finely it almost melts into the yogurt—this way it adds flavor without the bite.
  • Always add your seasonings and lemon juice last so you can taste and adjust; yogurt brands vary, and some need more salt than others.
