# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes luxurious and restaurant-quality but takes ten minutes and five ingredients.
  • The Greek yogurt keeps it light without sacrificing creaminess, so you can actually enjoy it without feeling weighed down.
  • Fresh herbs make your entire kitchen smell incredible the moment you start chopping them.
02 -
  • Don't skip the chilling time—the flavors genuinely taste different after sitting together, and the dip thickens slightly from cold, which changes everything.
  • Fresh herbs are non-negotiable; I learned this the hard way with dried dill, and it tasted like a seasoning packet rather than something alive.
03 -
  • If your dip tastes bland, it's almost always because it needs more salt or lemon juice—yogurt muffles flavors, so be braver than you think.
  • Use the finest mince for garlic you can manage; bigger pieces turn bitter and harsh as they sit, but minced fine, they disappear into the creaminess.
