# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes but tastes like something from a fancy restaurant
  • The fresh herb combo hits every bright, grassy, slightly tangy note you didn't know you needed
  • People will absolutely hover over it at parties, guaranteed
02 -
  • Don't skip the chilling time, I tried once and it tasted like separate ingredients instead of one cohesive dip
  • The texture thickens up in the fridge, so if it seems too liquid at first, don't panic
  • Cilantro or mint can replace basil or tarragon if that's what you have or prefer
03 -
  • If you only have dried herbs, don't bother making this, it needs to be fresh
  • Use a mini food processor if you have one, easier to scrape down the sides
  • Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly than cold ones
