# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but actually feels light, so you can eat more without that heavy cream feeling.
  • Everything comes together in 10 minutes with zero cooking—perfect for when friends show up unannounced.
  • One bowl, minimal cleanup, and it somehow tastes better the next day when the flavors have gotten to know each other.
02 -
  • Don't let the yogurt sit at room temperature longer than you need to or it can separate—keep it cold until the moment you serve it.
  • Garlic flavor intensifies as it sits, so if you're making this hours ahead, start with half a clove and add more if needed right before serving.
03 -
  • If your garlic flavor feels too strong after tasting, a squeeze more lemon juice or a pinch more salt balances it right out.
  • Save some whole fresh herbs to scatter on top right before serving—it looks intentional and reminds people of the freshness they're about to taste.
