FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but regular yogurt is thinner, so the dip may be less creamy. Straining regular yogurt to remove excess liquid can help achieve a thicker consistency.
How long do dried onions need to soak to soften in the dip?
Dried onions will soften as the dip chills in the fridge. Allow at least one hour for the best texture and flavor.
