# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in minutes, so you can make it while the oven is already running for other things.
  • One taste and people ask for the recipe, even when you tell them it's mostly just Greek yogurt and herbs.
  • It stays creamy and tangy for days in the fridge, getting better as the flavors settle in.
02 -
  • Don't skip the chilling step; those 30 minutes are when the flavors actually meld together instead of feeling like separate ingredients in a bowl.
  • Fresh herbs are non-negotiable here—dried herbs alone will give you something that tastes like the back of a spice cabinet, not like a real dip.
03 -
  • Prep your herbs right before mixing so they stay bright green and flavorful instead of oxidizing and turning dark.
  • If someone at your table needs to avoid dairy, swap in a thick coconut or almond-based yogurt and use plant-based milk—it works beautifully and no one will notice the difference.
