# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than it does to find your serving spoon.
  • The tangy sweetness makes fruit taste even better than it already does.
  • You probably have everything you need in your fridge right now.
  • It feels fancy but costs almost nothing to put together.
02 -
  • If your honey is too stiff to mix, microwave it for 10 seconds and it will blend right in.
  • Don't skip the lemon zest, the juice alone won't give you that bright, aromatic lift.
  • Whole milk Greek yogurt makes this taste like dessert, low fat works but it's thinner and less rich.
03 -
  • Make it the night before and let it sit overnight, the flavor gets even better as it rests.
  • Use a microplane to zest the lemon directly over the bowl so you catch every bit of the fragrant oils.
  • If you're bringing it somewhere, pack the dip in a small jar and the fruit separately so nothing gets soggy.
