# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in 10 minutes flat, no cooking required, just honest flavor.
  • The garlic hits different when it's raw and fresh—not overwhelming, just perfectly fragrant.
  • It works with literally anything: veggies, chips, crackers, or straight off a spoon when nobody's looking.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time—rushed dip tastes like you rushed it, but 30 minutes transforms everything into something genuinely craveable.
  • Mince your garlic fine and use fresh cloves; jarred garlic will make this taste bitter and one-dimensional instead of bright and complex.
03 -
  • Always mince your garlic by hand right before making the dip instead of using pre-minced—the flavor difference is genuinely shocking.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning in the fridge after 20 minutes because cold mutes flavors slightly, and you want it punchy when people actually eat it.
