FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

It’s best to use plain Greek yogurt to avoid altering the intended savory and tangy flavor balance of the dressing.

How can I make the dressing vegan?

Substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative, such as coconut or almond yogurt, ensuring it is plain and unsweetened for the best results.
