Notes
- Different dairy-free yogurts vary in flavor — you may want a touch more salt or lemon depending on the brand you use. Taste and test.
- Almond, cashew, or soy yogurt all work well. Make sure it’s unsweetened and plain to avoid altering the flavor.
- Make it your own. Stir in chopped chives, dill, or a pinch of garlic powder for a savory twist, or drizzle with maple syrup and add fruit for a sweet version.
