# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but actually feels light—no heavy cream hangover at the end of snacking.
  • Ten minutes from fridge to table, which means you can stop panicking when people text they're on their way.
  • The herbs stay bright and fresh tasting because nothing gets cooked, just minced and stirred.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time—flavors genuinely taste different after thirty minutes because the yogurt absorbs all that herbaceous oil and the lemon juice mellows out.
  • If you add the salt and then taste it immediately, you'll think it needs more, but don't trust yourself yet; wait a few minutes and taste again.
03 -
  • If you're making this more than a few hours ahead, use slightly less salt initially because the salt draws out moisture and the dip gets saltier as it sits.
  • Always taste the yogurt first—some brands are tangier than others, and that changes the whole balance; adjust lemon juice accordingly.
