Add mint or dill: Slight variations include 1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh dill and/or fresh mint. Tasty additions!
I love this stuff! Where would you get the greek yogurt? My stepmom is half Lebanese and cooks us up some great food but she always says you have to have a starter to make this. I would love to make it.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't find greek yogurt in your regular grocery store, then you should be able to find it in a health market or international grocery store.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made this yet, so I don't know how easy (or difficult) this is to find.
But, you certainly don't need a starter! I probably wouldn't have posted this if it was that involved! :)
