# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • People will ask you for the secret, and you'll love how it's simply three things you probably already have.
  • No cooking required: this is the dip you make when you want instant flavor and zero fuss.
02 -
  • Once, I forgot to rinse the beans and the whole dip tasted murky, so don't skip that step (trust me).
  • Letting the dip sit for 30 minutes in the fridge gives everything time to meld and taste extra zippy.
03 -
  • If your pico de gallo has a lot of juice, drain it so the dip doesn't get soggy.
  • Finishing with fresh cilantro or diced green onions takes it from good to great every single time.
