FAQs
Can I use fresh onions instead of dried onions?
Fresh onions have more moisture and a sharper flavor, so they can change the texture and taste. If using fresh, finely mince and sauté them lightly before adding for a milder flavor.
Is this dip suitable for a low-fat diet?
Yes, using plain Greek yogurt and olive oil keeps the dip lower in fat compared to traditional sour cream-based dips while still maintaining creaminess and flavor.
