Notes
- Make the dip up to one day in advance without toppings; stir well before serving.
- Select a solid block of feta cheese rather than crumbled for best texture.
- Use any plain yogurt type (whole, low-fat, or non-fat) depending on preference.
- If Aleppo pepper is unavailable, substitute with 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
