# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes restaurant-quality but takes less time than waiting in a lunch line.
  • The Green Goddess spread is so addictive you'll find yourself making extra just to keep in the fridge.
  • It's the kind of sandwich that makes you feel like you're actually taking care of yourself.
02 -
  • Don't make the spread more than an hour ahead, or the herbs will start to turn dark and lose their brightness.
  • The sandwich gets better if you let it sit for 10 minutes after assembling—the flavors meld and it becomes somehow more cohesive.
03 -
  • Make a double batch of the Green Goddess spread and keep it in the fridge for three days—it's brilliant on grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or even stirred into pasta.
  • If your sandwich starts to feel dry by afternoon, it means you didn't spread enough Green Goddess, or your vegetables weren't fresh enough to hold their moisture.
