Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt as a substitute for half of the mayonnaise. If you want to add a bit of heat, try incorporating a dash of hot sauce. Fresh chives can be replaced with finely chopped green onions if needed. Remember to adjust the sugar based on your taste preference, especially if pairing with savory dishes like the Savory Spread For Tiny Sandwiches.
