Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dip, consider adding a bit of cream cheese to the mixture. If you prefer a lighter option, Greek yogurt can replace sour cream. Fresh herbs can enhance the flavor; try using fresh dill instead of dried. Be sure to taste and adjust seasonings to suit your preference. For added texture, consider incorporating chopped celery or bell peppers.
