# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in about ten minutes and tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
  • Greek yogurt keeps it protein-packed and lighter than traditional mayo-only dips, but still creamy enough to feel indulgent.
  • The fresh herbs make it taste bright and alive, not like something that's been sitting in a jar for months.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time in the fridge; this isn't just about temperature, it's about letting the herb flavors bloom and the ingredients meld into something greater than their parts.
  • If you're using dried herbs instead of fresh, add them earlier or use about one-third the amount because they're more potent and need time to rehydrate and distribute.
03 -
  • Use the best Greek yogurt you can find—cheaper brands are often watery, and you'll taste the difference in creaminess and tang.
  • Squeeze your lemon juice fresh rather than using the bottled kind; it sounds like a small thing, but the flavor difference is real and your dip will taste noticeably brighter.
