# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It vanishes faster than any hot dip ever could, and you dont have to babysit an oven.
  • The herbs make it taste bright and alive, not like something that sat in a plastic tub at the store.
  • You can prep the dressing ahead and toss it together right before guests arrive, looking effortless.
02 -
  • If you make this too far ahead the cabbage will start weeping and the dip gets watery, toss it within an hour of serving.
  • Taste the dressing before you mix it in, it should be punchy and well-seasoned because the veggies will dilute it.
03 -
  • Let the blender run longer than you think, a completely smooth dressing clings better and looks more vibrant.
  • Use the pulse button when mixing in the feta so it stays chunky, nobody wants feta mush.
