Tip

For the best flavour, use fresh ingredients, especially with the herbs, garlic, and lemon juice. Be careful with the garlic as some cloves are more pungent than others, especially when opting for very fresh ones.

Tip

Once the dip is blended, you can chill it in the fridge for an hour or so to allow the flavours to meld together. It will stay good in the fridge for 3-4 days but remember that the flavours might change the longer you let it sit.
