# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It looks absolutely terrifying and impressive, but honestly, it takes just 20 minutes from start to spooky presentation
  • The creamy green dip tastes like a fancy guacamole-meets-spinach situation that people can't stop eating
  • Everything is already prepped when guests arrive—no last-minute scrambling while everyone's staring at you
  • It works for vegetarians, and with a swap or two, for vegan friends too
02 -
  • Avocado oxidizes quickly, which means your beautiful green will start turning brownish if you make this more than an hour ahead. If you're prepping early, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip to keep air away from it
  • The lime juice isn't just for flavor—it's your secret weapon against browning. Don't skip it, and use fresh lime if you possibly can
  • Room temperature cream cheese is absolutely non-negotiable. Cold cream cheese will chunk up in your blender and ruin the whole vibe
03 -
  • If dry ice feels like too much drama, create a smoky effect by dry-roasting some additional spinach or kale until it's almost charred, then crumble it around the cauldron—it looks like actual potion smoke and tastes interesting
  • Make this dip the morning of your party, but wait to arrange the surrounding ingredients until just before guests arrive. Wet ingredients (grapes, olives) will weep into your platter if they sit too long
