Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dip ahead of time?

What can I use instead of yogurt or sour cream?
You can use a dairy-free yogurt alternative if you're looking for a vegan option. Cashew cream or silken tofu blended until smooth can also serve as great substitutes while keeping a creamy texture.
