Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, let the cream cheese sit at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a tangy flavor, or use cottage cheese for a lighter option. For added spice, consider mixing in some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Fresh herbs like dill or chives can elevate the flavor as well.
