# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes 10 minutes flat and tastes like you spent an hour thinking about it.
  • Greek yogurt does the heavy lifting so you can feel good about what you're serving.
  • The herbs keep it tasting fresh even days later, unlike cream-based versions that get heavy.
  • It doubles as a sandwich spread, a vegetable companion, or a spoon-straight-into-the-bowl kind of moment.
02 -
  • If your dip tastes flat after resting, it's usually salt shyness—a few more grains make everything pop.
  • Fresh herbs matter more here than in almost any other recipe because they're the entire flavor story, so taste as you go and don't be afraid to add more dill if it feels like your version wants it.
03 -
  • If you love herbs, don't hold back—this is one of the few recipes where more green actually makes it better, not worse.
  • Make this dip while sitting down with the herbs in front of you and chop as you go. Something shifts when you're not rushing through the chopping board part.
