Possible Ingredient Alternatives
Greek yogurt can be replaced with plain coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option. This substitution maintains the creamy texture and tangy flavor while offering a subtle coconut taste. Use a 1:1 ratio, but note that the dip may be slightly thinner.
Mayonnaise can be substituted with mashed avocado for a healthier, plant-based alternative. Use about 2 tablespoons of mashed avocado per 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise. This swap adds healthy fats and a creamy texture, though it may slightly alter the color and flavor of the dip.
Sour cream can be replaced with cashew cream for a vegan option. Blend 1/4 cup of soaked cashews with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. This substitution provides a similar creamy texture and tangy flavor while adding nutritional benefits from the nuts. Adjust the consistency with water as needed.
