# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than it does to wash the bowl, and tastes like you put real thought into it.
  • You can adjust the sweetness on the fly without ruining anything, which makes it forgiving for picky eaters or last-minute guests.
  • It turns a boring fruit tray into something people actually get excited about.
02 -
  • If your honey is thick and cold, warm it for a few seconds in the microwave so it whisks in smoothly without clumping.
  • Taste as you go, some yogurts are tangier than others and you might want an extra half tablespoon of honey to balance it out.
03 -
  • Zest the lemon directly over the bowl so the oils spray into the yogurt, it makes the citrus flavor bloom.
  • If you want a sweeter dip without adding more sugar, use vanilla Greek yogurt as your base and cut the honey in half.
