# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The spread is so creamy and herb-forward that you won't miss heavy dressings or extra fats.
  • It comes together in under 20 minutes, so you can make a restaurant-quality lunch without any cooking.
  • It keeps for days in the fridge, meaning you can prep the spread and grab a sandwich whenever hunger hits.
02 -
  • Make the spread at least an hour ahead so the flavors can meld and deepen—same-day spreads taste flat and one-dimensional by comparison.
  • Don't assemble the full sandwich until you're ready to eat it; the vegetables will wilt and the bread will get soggy if left to sit for more than a few minutes.
03 -
  • Save time by using a blender instead of a food processor—it creates an even smoother spread with less effort.
  • If the spread seems too thick, thin it out with a teaspoon of water at a time rather than adding more mayo, which can make it greasy.
