Notes
- Choose High-Quality Yogurt: Full-fat Greek yogurt provides a richer and creamier dip, but you can opt for low-fat or non-fat versions for a lighter option.
- Balance Sweetness: Start with a small amount of honey or maple syrup and adjust to taste.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try mixing in cocoa powder for a chocolatey version or coconut extract for a tropical twist.
- Make It Ahead: Prepare the dip a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Stir before serving.
- Use Seasonal Fruits: Pair the dip with fruits like strawberries, apples, pineapples, or kiwi for a burst of freshness.
