# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's ready in minutes, which means no frantic prep when guests are five minutes away.
  • The herbs stay bright and herbaceous instead of turning into a sad, oxidized paste after an hour.
  • It's genuinely better than heavy cream versions—tangier, lighter, and somehow more satisfying.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time—it transforms separate ingredients into something that tastes intentional and balanced.
  • Taste it before serving, not after—yogurt can taste different cold than at room temperature, and this is your last chance to adjust.
03 -
  • Mince the garlic by hand and let it sit for a minute before adding it to the yogurt—this mellows the sharp bite slightly.
  • If your dip tastes flat after mixing, it usually needs more salt or lemon juice, not more herbs—those two elements are the amplifiers.
