# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Kids actually eat the vegetables without being asked twice, which is basically magic.
  • The dip tastes fancy but takes five minutes, making you look like you have your life together.
  • It works for every occasion, from rushed weeknight snacks to impressive party spreads.
02 -
  • Pat your vegetables completely dry after washing, or moisture will dilute your dip and make everything feel soggy.
  • Make your dip at least an hour ahead so the flavors have time to meld and become more cohesive and delicious.
03 -
  • Mince your anchovy fillets incredibly fine, so people get the umami boost without noticing they're there.
  • Keep your vegetables arranged on the platter until the last possible moment, because a platter that looks this good gets eaten quickly and keeps the energy going at any gathering.
