# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in five minutes, which means you can actually make it the same day guests arrive instead of stress-planning three days ahead.
  • The tanginess of Greek yogurt keeps the sweetness honest, so it tastes indulgent without feeling heavy.
  • Fresh lemon and cinnamon transform it from basic to memorable without requiring any special ingredients you don't already have.
02 -
  • Greek yogurt brands vary wildly in thickness and tanginess, so taste yours before you add honey; some need more sweetener than others, and that's perfectly normal.
  • Lemon juice is a game-changer here because it brightens the entire dip and keeps it from tasting one-dimensional—don't skip it or substitute with lime unless you want something completely different.
03 -
  • Taste the dip thirty minutes after making it—you'll notice how much deeper and more harmonious the flavors become as they sit together in the cold.
  • Always zest your lemon fresh and right before mixing so the oils are bright and the flavor is alive; this single detail separates memorable from forgettable.
