  2. Taste, and add salt or pepper as desired.

Chill

  1. Refrigerate at least an hour to let the flavors blend. Mix well before serving.

Notes

  • What to do with leftovers
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Substitutions/Additions
  • You can use regular yogurt (not Greek) if that's what you have, but the result will be thinner. I would do half yogurt, half sour cream to make it thicker.
  • Serve with any fresh vegetables you like. Sugar snap peas, sliced bell peppers, cucumbers,
  • Freezing instructions
  • This recipe is not suitable for freezing.
