Every ingredient is a pantry staple available at any Charlotte grocer, and the total cost runs under two dollars for four servings, making this genuinely cheap. The stated ten minutes is honest for a simple oil-and-herb blend, though actual use time depends entirely on what you're dipping or marinating. The real strength is flexibility—this reheats perfectly, works for weeknight proteins or vegetables, and needs zero attention once mixed, but it's ultimately a condiment rather than a meal, so rating it as a standalone dish has limits.
