Common questions
What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?
In a pinch you can substitute the plain Greek yogurt for sour cream.
Can I use dried basil instead of fresh?
Yes! Substitute the fresh basil for 2 tsp of dried basil.
Where can I find the jars of sun-dried tomatoes in the grocery store?
Generally I find the jars of sun dried tomatoes near the canned tomatoes, canned beans or the pasta in the grocery store. Alternatively, sometimes you can find them near the olive bar if your store has one of those. If you can’t find them just ask as most stores do carry sun dried tomatoes.
Storage
Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Use any leftover dip as a delicious spread for sandwiches on a yummy piece of crusty bread or on bagels.
