# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The fresh herb hit is absolutely electric, making everything taste like it came from a garden ten minutes ago
  • It comes together in under fifteen minutes but tastes like you spent hours simmering and infusing
  • Guests will hover around the bowl, and you'll catch them sneaking extra dollops when they think no one is watching
02 -
  • The refrigeration time isn't optional, it's when the herbs really marry into the creamy base
  • Dried herbs will turn this into something completely different and not in a good way
  • Make it at least a few hours ahead if you can, because it somehow tastes better the next day
03 -
  • Wash and thoroughly dry your herbs before blending, because water will make the dip separate
  • The anchovies disappear completely but leave behind that restaurant quality depth everyone notices
