# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in 10 minutes, which means you can make it while your guests are already arriving.
  • The tanginess from Greek yogurt tastes elegant but casual, like you weren't trying too hard.
  • Fresh herbs make it taste homemade in a way that bottled seasoning packets never quite manage.
02 -
  • Fresh herbs are non-negotiable if you want this to taste like homemade cooking, not a seasoning packet—dried herbs give a completely different (and flatter) result.
  • Refrigeration time isn't optional; it transforms the dip from just-mixed to something with real depth and cohesion.
03 -
  • Squeeze your lemon juice fresh every time; bottled lemon juice tastes like regret compared to the real thing.
  • If you want a little heat, add a tiny pinch of cayenne—it whispers rather than shouts.
