Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Feta cheese. I recommend using a block of feta and crumbling it yourself.
- Greek yogurt. sour cream works in place of greek yogurt.
- Olive oil. avocado oil is a good substitute.
- Lemon juice. freshly squeezed or bottled both work great!
- Honey. I don't recommend substitutes for honey.
- Minced garlic. If desired, substitute ½ teaspoon garlic powder for the minced garlic.
