# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes, making it perfect for those moments when unexpected guests text that they're on their way.
  • The brightness of fresh herbs and lemon cuts through the richness in a way that makes you feel good about what you're eating.
  • It's so versatile that you'll find yourself making it for veggies, chips, sandwiches, and even as a dollop on grilled chicken without thinking twice.
02 -
  • Don't skip the refrigeration step—those thirty minutes aren't just a suggestion, they're when the flavors actually blend together and become something greater than their parts.
  • Fresh herbs make all the difference here; dried herbs will make it taste like you're eating seasoning dust rather than fresh garden flavors.
  • If you're making this ahead, hold off on adding the lemon juice until just before serving, or it can make the yogurt a little too thin.
03 -
  • Room temperature yogurt will blend more smoothly with the herbs than cold yogurt straight from the fridge—take it out five minutes before you start.
  • Tasting as you go is the real secret here; every yogurt brand tastes slightly different, and what tastes bright to you might need more lemon to someone else.
