# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like summer in a bowl without weighing you down the way heavy cream dips do.
  • You can have it ready before your guests even text that they're on their way.
  • The flavors actually get better as it sits, so you can make it ahead and forget about it.
02 -
  • Don't skip the chilling time—it feels like a small step, but those thirty minutes let the flavors marry into something cohesive and smooth.
  • Fresh herbs make all the difference; dried herbs will leave this tasting flat and one-dimensional, so don't try to substitute them.
03 -
  • Mince your garlic so fine it almost disappears into the yogurt—big chunks will make this aggressively garlicky and ruin the delicate balance.
  • Taste as you go with seasoning, because some yogurts are tangier than others and you want to layer the salt and lemon to complement that, not fight it.
