Tips
- Use the freshest herbs possible—they make a world of difference in flavor intensity.
- Let the dip chill for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to fully develop and meld together.
- For extra smoothness, use a food processor to blend the ingredients.
- Experiment with different crudites like radishes, jicama, or blanched asparagus for variety.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of buttermilk or a bit more lemon juice.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with plant-based alternatives.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
