Cooking Tips
- Don’t skip the lemon zest—it’s what makes the flavor pop.
- If you don’t have fresh oregano, swap it for 1–2 teaspoons of dried, but fresh does give a more aromatic finish.
- For extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of tahini to the dip before blending.
- Want to make this ahead? Blend the dip and refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Add toppings just before serving for best texture.
