Key Ingredients + Substitutions

- plain yogurt – we used a plain Greek yogurt but a dairy-free alternative from your local grocery store would also work great!
- mayonnaise – perfect for adding to the creaminess and balances out that little bit of tangy flavor from the yogurt.
- lemon juice – a bit of acidity is always great to help amplify the other flavors.
- fresh garlic – everything is better with some garlic in the mix.
- ground cumin, kosher salt and pepper – simple seasonings that bring the best flavor!
