Customizing This Dip
- Green Onions: No green onions on hand? Try chives or even finely chopped leeks for a similar but distinct flavor.
- Sour Cream: Greek yogurt makes an excellent substitute, adding a bit more tanginess and creaminess.
- Garlic: If you’re not a garlic fan, shallots can provide a milder, slightly sweet alternative.
- Parsley: Dried cilantro or dill can offer a unique twist, giving the dip a different herbal note.
