Ingredient Notes
Sour Cream – I prefer full fat sour cream, but if you like, you can sub low-fat (personally, I would avoid fat free). If you like the flavor of plain yogurt, you could use a plain, Greek style yogurt as well. Mayonnaise – use a mayo you like! Feta cheese – you might not even realize feta is in this dip, it just adds a wonderful salty, tangy flavor element. Regular or low-fat feta is just fine. Bacon – this recipe calls for a package of bacon, cooked and crumbled, but I find it’s so much quicker and easier to use a bag of pre-cooked crumbed bacon. You can find this at the grocery store. Depending on the brand your store carries, the amount might be slightly different. I’ve found any of the small salad size packs are great. They usually vary between 3-4-ish ounces. Garlic – fresh garlic really adds a lot of flavor here, I’d stick to fresh over garlic powder. Red wine vinegar – along with lemon juice, this adds an acidic flavor balance. Red wine vinegar is preferable, but if you’re in a pinch, white wine vinegar would also work.
