# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The green goddess spread is addictive—once you make it, you'll find yourself slathering it on everything.
  • No cooking required means you can pull this together in under twenty minutes, even on days when you're running behind.
  • It's genuinely satisfying despite being packed with vegetables, so you won't feel hungry an hour later.
02 -
  • If you blend the green goddess spread too long, the herbs can turn dark and bitter instead of staying bright—stop as soon as everything is smooth and the color is still vibrant green.
  • Make the spread first and let it sit in the fridge for even five minutes while you prepare the vegetables; it helps the flavors meld together and tastes noticeably better.
03 -
  • Toast your bread face up on a skillet with a tiny bit of butter if you have time; it adds warmth and makes the spread easier to spread without tearing.
  • If you're making this for someone else and want to impress them, tell them what's in the green goddess spread before they taste it—knowing about the herbs and avocado makes them notice those flavors even more.
