# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The creamy avocado and tangy Greek yogurt create this incredible velvety texture that feels luxurious without weighing you down
  • Fresh dill and lemon make it taste like sunshine in a bowl, the kind of bright flavor that wakes up your whole palate
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that you must toss this salad right before serving, or the avocados will start to brown and the cucumber will release too much water
  • The dressing tastes even better after it sits for 10 minutes, giving the garlic time to mellow and the dill time to really infuse everything
03 -
  • Use a very sharp knife for the avocados to get clean cuts without crushing them, a dull knife will turn everything into guacamole
  • If the dressing feels too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water or more lemon juice until it reaches your desired consistency
