# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in ten minutes, which means you can make it while your guests are still outside wondering what you're serving.
  • The tanginess feels unexpectedly sophisticated without requiring any fancy ingredients or techniques.
  • It tastes even better the next day, so you can prep it ahead without guilt.
02 -
  • Fresh herbs make this recipe; dried herbs taste flat by comparison, though they work if that's what you have (use one teaspoon of each).
  • The dip continues to develop flavor as it sits, so leftovers are often better than the moment you make it.
03 -
  • Chop your herbs right before mixing so they're at their brightest and don't oxidize sitting in a bowl.
  • Taste as you season because every brand of yogurt has different salt content, and you want this to taste like you made it, not like a recipe.
