Helpful Tips
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
- Stir before using, as it may thicken slightly after chilling.
- Not suitable for freezing — the yoghurt can split once thawed.
Substitutions
- Greek Yoghurt: Use sour cream instead
- Adobo Sauce: Replace with chipotle paste or smoked paprika for a milder version.
- Honey: Swap with maple syrup or agave.
- Lime Juice: Lemon juice works in a pinch.
Serving Suggestions
- Drizzle over tacos, burrito bowls, or nachos.
- Use as a dip for sweet potato fries, chicken strips, or veggie sticks.
- Spread onto sandwiches, burgers, or wraps.
- Spoon over grilled salmon, prawns, or roasted vegetables for extra flavour.
