# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in 10 minutes, which means you can make it the same day you're serving it.
  • Greek yogurt keeps it naturally protein-rich and lighter than anything made with sour cream or mayo.
  • One bowl, minimal cleanup, and it tastes like you actually put thought into it.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time; the dip tastes noticeably better after the herbs have had time to flavor the yogurt.
  • Taste before serving and add more salt or lemon juice if it feels flat, because yogurt tends to mute flavors slightly as it sits.
03 -
  • Mince your garlic as fine as possible or it will taste harsh; bigger pieces don't have time to mellow in the 30-minute rest.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt if you want that thick, luxurious texture, but low-fat works beautifully if that's what you prefer.
