# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes but tastes like something you slaved over
  • The fresh herbs make everything taste like summer even in the dead of winter
  • Its infinitely adaptable based on what you have growing or sitting in your crisper drawer
02 -
  • The resting time in the refrigerator is not optional because the herbs need time to release their oils and infuse the yogurt with their flavor
  • Using a microplane or fine grater for the garlic creates a paste that incorporates more smoothly than chunks you mince with a knife
  • This dip actually tastes better the next day, so making it ahead is not just convenient but actually improves the final result
03 -
  • Strain your yogurt in a cheesecloth for an hour if you want an incredibly thick, spreadable consistency
  • Finishing the dip with a drizzle of good olive oil and a few whole herb leaves makes it look as beautiful as it tastes
