Ingredient Replacements

There are many different replacements for this sauce. Looking for more protein? Or do you want to make it even creamier?

  • For more protein, replace sour cream with greek yogurt.
  • For a creamier sauce, replace half the sour cream with mayonnaise.
  • No fresh (or bottled) lemon juice? Just use lime if you have it, if not, just omit it completely.
  • Have extra herbs that you’ve been meaning to use up in the fridge, like cilantro, parsley, mint or oregano? Go ahead and finely chop those up and toss those in as well.
