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,
