  • For best flavor, refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to increase protein and reduce fat.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy twist.
  • Use fresh herbs like dill or chives as alternatives to parsley for different flavor profiles.
  • This dip keeps well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
