Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Greek yogurt. I really don't recommend substitutions here. You can use full-fat (recommended) or lower fat yogurt with great results.
- Feta cheese. If you must, goat cheese is a good substitute for feta.
- Garlic powder. 2 teaspoons of minced garlic works well in place of garlic powder.
- Fresh dill. Freeze-dried dill is a great substitute if you can't find fresh.
- Green onions. shallots or red onion both work well.
- Kalamata olives. these are quintessential greek olives and I don't recommend substitutions.
