# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in five minutes flat, which means you can actually enjoy your own party instead of being glued to the kitchen.
  • The tartness of Greek yogurt balances the sweetness perfectly, so it never feels cloying or heavy.
  • You feel good serving it because it's genuinely nourishing, not something you need to apologize for eating.
02 -
  • Nonfat Greek yogurt will give you a dip that tastes thin and sharp; whole milk makes it luxurious and forgiving.
  • Fresh lemon juice transforms this from one-note to vibrant—bottled juice won't have the same brightness.
03 -
  • The zest matters more than you think—use a microplane to get those fine, fragrant flakes rather than chunky pieces.
  • If the dip separates in the fridge, whisk it again for 10 seconds and it will come back together like nothing happened.
