# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's ready in 10 minutes, no cooking required, which means you can make it while your guests are on their way.
  • Greek yogurt makes it feel indulgent while actually being packed with protein and surprisingly light.
  • One taste and people assume you spent way more time on it than you actually did.
02 -
  • Fresh herbs really do make the difference—dried herbs alone will taste like powdered nostalgia, so don't even try to skip the fresh stuff.
  • The dip will taste way better after a rest in the fridge than it does the moment you finish mixing, so resist the urge to serve it immediately.
03 -
  • Use the finest chop you can manage on your fresh herbs; it looks more refined and distributes more evenly through the dip.
  • The 30-minute rest isn't just a suggestion—it's when the magic actually happens, so don't rush this step even if you're pressed for time.
