# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes—no cooking, just chopping and stirring.
  • The tanginess of Greek yogurt pairs perfectly with fresh herbs in a way that feels lighter and brighter than cream-based alternatives.
  • It keeps for three days, making it the perfect make-ahead appetizer for when people drop by unexpectedly.
02 -
  • Mince that garlic finely—if there are chunks, they'll taste sharp and overpowering instead of blending into the background.
  • The dip will taste better the next day once the flavors have had time to meld together, so plan accordingly if you're making it for a specific moment.
03 -
  • Always taste as you go—the intensity of herbs varies by the season and where they're from, so your seasoning might need fine-tuning.
  • If the dip seems too thick, thin it gently with a teaspoon of lemon juice or a splash of water rather than cream; you want it to stay light.
