It’s super simple to make – we whip ours up in a few minutes and let it chill in the fridge for a bit before serving. Perfect for a barbecue, picnic or other casual outdoor gathering, this herbaceous dip can also be made the day before your get-together and refrigerated overnight so the flavors have time to blend together.
