Notes

This recipe makes 2 cups, the nutritional information is per cup.

Substitute for Plain Greek Yogurt:

Sour cream. This would be my first choice, I make this substitution often.
Mayo can also be used.
Cottage Cheese is another alternative, the consistency won't be quite the same but it'll have great flavor.

To serve with toasted Naan bread:

Brush Naan bread lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Place directly on oven racks. Bake in a preheated 375 ° oven for 8-10 minutes, or until crisp.
Transfer to cooling racks to keep them crisp.
Once cooled, slice into triangles for dipping.

Storage:

Store in a covered airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
