# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you can slice the fruit, seriously under five minutes.
  • The tangy yogurt and honey balance feels indulgent but keeps you from that sugar crash.
  • You can tweak the sweetness or spice on the fly without ruining anything.
02 -
  • If your yogurt is too tangy, add an extra teaspoon of honey instead of fighting it with more lemon.
  • Letting it chill really does make a difference, the cold thickens it and the flavors settle into something more cohesive.
03 -
  • Use a microplane for the lemon zest so you get the fragrant oils without the bitter white pith.
  • Whisk it longer than you think, a smooth dip makes all the difference and takes less than a minute.
