Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
- Goat cheese. I recommend using a log - not pre-crumbled cheese. Or, try this whipped feta dip!
- Greek yogurt. sour cream is a good substitute for Greek yogurt.
- Olive oil. avocado oil works great.
- Lemon juice. freshly squeezed or bottled are both good choices.
- Honey. I don't recommend substitutes for honey.
- Minced garlic. If desired, substitute ½ teaspoon garlic powder for the minced garlic.
