# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This dip comes together in ten minutes but tastes like something that took hours to perfect
  • The creamy tangy flavor profile works with almost anything you want to dip in it
02 -
  • Let the cream cheese soften completely before blending or you will end up with tiny chunks that never smooth out
  • This dip tastes even better after sitting in the refrigerator for an hour so the flavors meld together
03 -
  • Use a microplane to grate the garlic clove instead of mincing it for a smoother texture
  • Sprinkle the oregano between layers rather than mixing it all in at once for pockets of herb flavor
