No Greek yogurt?
Use regular nonfat plain yogurt or fat free sour cream. Just note that regular yogurt and sour cream are a bit thinner and contain less protein.
Prefer a different kind of vinegar?
Champagne vinegar or apple cider vinegar both work. They both keep the acidity, but add slightly different flavor notes.
Out of fresh dill?
Try fresh parsley or chives. Dried dill works, too, in a pinch. Just use 1 teaspoon instead of 1 tablespoon.
Don’t have lemons for fresh lemon juice?
No problem. Swap in freshly squeezed lime juice or orange juice for a tasty twist. Bottled lemon juice can be used, too, but is much tarter than using fresh.
