Notes

Tips & Variations

  • Swap Greek yogurt for vegan yogurt or skip entirely for a dairy-free, ultra-creamy vegan version (add olive oil for richness).
  • Use fresh dill instead of cilantro for a Nordic twist.
  • Add a handful of spinach or baby kale for extra nutrients and color.
  • Top with grape salsa or diced mango for a sweet contrast.
  • It keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days, but for peak color and flavor, it is best enjoyed within 24 hours.
