Yogurt with sun-dried tomatoes & basil FAQ:
You can substitute sun-dried tomatoes with roasted red peppers or fresh cherry tomatoes for a milder flavor. Adjust the quantity based on your preference, as fresh tomatoes may add more moisture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. After that, the texture and flavor may degrade.
Yes, you can use regular yogurt, but keep in mind that the texture will be thinner and less creamy compared to Greek yogurt.
Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes with a sharp knife after draining or rehydrating them. This ensures they mix well with the yogurt and basil.
A dash of black pepper is suggested, but you can adjust the amount to your taste, starting with 1/8 teaspoon and adding more if desired.
