# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • Everything goes into one bowl and blends in under two minutes, leaving you free to actually enjoy your guests.
  • The herb combination creates a flavor that tastes both familiar and surprising, like something you'd order at a cafe but better.
  • It works as a dip, a salad dressing, or even a sandwich spread when you're tired of the usual options.
02 -
  • Fresh herbs are non-negotiable here, dried versions will turn this muddy and bitter instead of vibrant and fresh.
  • Let the dip rest in the fridge for the full 30 minutes, serving it immediately means missing out on how the flavors deepen and marry together.
  • If your dip looks too thin after blending, it will thicken considerably once chilled, so resist the urge to add more mayo right away.
03 -
  • Pulse the blender in short bursts at first if your herbs are clumping instead of blending, then run it continuously once everything is moving.
  • Add the anchovies even if you think you don't like them, they disappear completely into savory depth that everyone loves without identifying.
  • Make a double batch because people will eat more than you think, and you'll want leftovers for yourself anyway.
