# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • That moment when you bite through crispy vegetables and realize the green spread is doing all the heavy lifting—creamy, herbaceous, and nothing like boring mayo.
  • You can make the spread five minutes before eating or an hour ahead, so it works whether you're meal prepping or winging it.
02 -
  • Your bread quality matters way more than you think—cheap bread will go soggy in minutes, and no amount of green spread can save that.
  • Make the spread first and taste it, because that's where you catch whether you need more lemon or salt before it's too late.
03 -
  • Don't skip the tarragon if you can find it—it's subtle but it's the secret ingredient that makes people keep eating and keep asking what's different about this.
  • If your avocado isn't quite ripe, pulse it less and use a slightly older avocado that blends smoothly instead of fighting back.
