Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. If you're short on time, pre-chopped vegetables can save you prep time. To enhance flavor, add some garlic powder or fresh herbs to the cream cheese mixture. If you like a bit of a kick, a dash of hot sauce can be a great addition.
