Ingredients
- Greek Yogurt - Can be substituted for vanilla yogurt or sour cream. If you are using sour cream, increase the maple syrup to 2 Tablespoons.

- Maple Syrup - Other sweeteners, such as honey or brown sugar, can be substituted for maple syrup. For a zero-calorie, lighter alternative, use monkfruit sugar or stevia.
- Sea Salt - Salt is optional, but helps to round out the flavor and brighten the dip.
