  • Don't overcook the vegetables. The vegetables should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch to them. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil is the star of the dish, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is dark green in color and has a fruity aroma.
  • Season the dip to taste. The amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a little bit of each and then add more to taste.
  • Serve the dip warm. This dip is best served warm, so make it just before you're ready to serve it. You can reheat it in the microwave or oven if necessary.
