Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
• Avoid overmixing to keep the sauce from becoming too thin.
• Serve with a garnish of fresh herbs for an elegant presentation.
Food Safety:
• Always refrigerate leftovers promptly to prevent bacterial growth.
• Consume within 3-4 days for best quality.
