# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 10 minutes with no cooking required, yet tastes like you spent hours on it.
  • The bright green color and herbaceous flavor make vegetables taste exciting instead of boring.
  • One batch goes with everything—chips, bread, roasted vegetables, or spread on a sandwich the next day.
02 -
  • Don't skip the chilling time—30 minutes makes a real difference in how the flavors come together and taste less sharp.
  • If your dip seems too thick after blending, a tablespoon of milk or more lemon juice will thin it to the perfect consistency without diluting the flavor.
03 -
  • If you're serving this at a party, put the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice to keep it cold and looking fresh throughout the evening.
  • Make a double batch and freeze half in a container—it thaws beautifully and you'll be grateful to future you when unexpected guests arrive.
