# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes with zero cooking required.
  • The tangy, herbaceous flavor tastes far more impressive than the minimal effort demands.
  • It works as a dip, spread, or sauce, making it endlessly useful in the kitchen.
02 -
  • Fresh herbs are non-negotiable; dried herbs taste dusty and turn this into something pedestrian instead of special.
  • Squeezing your lemon fresh makes a tangible difference in brightness that bottled juice simply cannot match.
  • The 30-minute chill is not optional—it's where the magic happens and the dip transforms from good to memorable.
03 -
  • Mince your garlic finely or even press it through a garlic press; chunky bits of raw garlic will surprise you unpleasantly with their intensity.
  • Zest your lemon before you juice it—it's easier, and the zest gives you those bright little pops of flavor that juice alone cannot provide.
