# Expert tips:

01 -
  • The Green Goddess spread is so good you'll find yourself making it just to eat with a spoon.
  • It comes together in under twenty minutes, making it perfect for those days when you want something that tastes like you tried but didn't.
  • Every bite feels fresh and alive, like you're eating straight from a garden.
02 -
  • Make the spread first and let it sit for five minutes—it melds together better and the flavors taste more unified.
  • Slice your vegetables right before assembly, especially the avocado, because there's nothing worse than brown edges on something that's supposed to feel fresh.
03 -
  • Toast your bread even lightly because it creates a subtle barrier that prevents the spread from making the bread soggy.
  • If you're eating this later, pack the spread, vegetables, and bread separately and assemble when you're ready.
