# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes with ingredients you probably already have
  • The fresh herbs make it taste like something from a fancy restaurant but without the effort
02 -
  • The resting time in the fridge is what transforms this from yogurt mixed with herbs into an actual cohesive dip
  • Using fresh herbs instead of dried is not negotiable here. Dried herbs would turn this into something completely different and not in a good way
03 -
  • Use a microplane or zester for the lemon zest to get those tiny aromatic pieces without any bitter white pith
  • Chop all your herbs to roughly the same size so no single bite is overwhelming with one particular flavor
