FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Regular yogurt can be used but the dip will be less thick and creamy. Straining regular yogurt with a cheesecloth can help achieve a similar consistency to Greek yogurt.
Is this dip suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, this dip is vegetarian as long as the Worcestershire sauce used does not contain anchovies, or you can simply omit it.
