# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The blend of four different herbs creates complex layers of flavor that store bought dips simply cant match.
  • You can throw this together in 15 minutes flat when unexpected guests arrive and still look like you planned for days.
02 -
  • Over blending the herbs can turn your dip slightly bitter give your machine just enough pulses to incorporate everything without turning the herbs to mush.
  • Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly than cold ones straight from the fridge which can leave tiny lumps in your otherwise silky dip.
03 -
  • If youre in a rush and forgot to let ingredients come to room temperature, putting them in a sealed bag and submerging in warm water for 5 minutes works wonders.
  • For the most vibrant color, blanch the herbs in boiling water for 10 seconds then plunge into ice water before blending an extra step that makes a stunning presentation.
