# Cooking Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in under ten minutes but tastes like something you planned all week
- The ingredient list is flexible enough to work with whatever you have in your crisper drawer
02 -
- Room temperature ingredients blend together much better than cold ones straight from the fridge
- The dip actually tastes better after sitting for an hour in the refrigerator
03 -
- Fresh herbs make a noticeable difference but dried work in a pinch at about one-third the amount
- A microplane makes quick work of zesting extra lemon into the dip for even more brightness
