# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in about ten minutes, which means you can make it while your guests are still parking their cars.
  • The flavor only gets better as it sits, so there's zero stress about timing.
  • It transforms whatever vegetables or chips you have into something that tastes restaurant-quality.
02 -
  • If you add the herbs and then taste it immediately, you'll think something is missing—wait those 30 minutes and everything settles into balance.
  • Don't go too heavy-handed with the garlic; one clove is honestly enough, and you can always add more but you can't take it back.
03 -
  • If you don't have a food processor, a good blender works fine, or even a mortar and pestle if you're feeling old-school and patient.
  • Taste the dip before serving and adjust salt, lemon, or herbs to match your mood that day—it's forgiving and wants to be personalized.
