# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in about five minutes with zero cooking, so last-minute guests don't stress you out.
  • The flavor deepens while it sits in the fridge, so you can make it ahead and actually relax.
  • It's naturally lighter than heavy cream dips but tastes just as satisfying and indulgent.
02 -
  • Don't skip the refrigeration time—I learned the hard way that this dip tastes flat and one-dimensional when eaten right away, but transforms after sitting for 30 minutes.
  • Mincing the garlic finely is non-negotiable; chunks of raw garlic will catch you off guard and ruin the smooth, creamy vibe you're going for.
03 -
  • If you want to make a vegan version, plant-based yogurt works just as well and gets just as creamy—the flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.
  • Don't be shy with the fresh herbs; they're the whole point, and they get quieter as the dip sits, so that handful you add today will feel just right by tomorrow.
