1 tsp Beaumonde seasoning or celery salt 5 mL
1 tsp dried chives 5 mL

½ tsp garlic powder 2.5 mL
6 drops Tabasco sauce 6 drops

ADDITIONAL NOTES

  • Use as a dip for vegetables or chips.
  • Use as a spread for sandwiches.
  • Add a dollop to a baked potato.
  • Use as a dressing for potato salad.
  • Replace Astro Original Balkan Style Plain yogourt for any other Plain yogourt. Using a lower fat yogourt will result in a thinner dip.
  • Replace Astro yogourt with drained Astro yogourt for a thicker, creamier dip. Place 2 cups (500 mL) of Astro yogourt in a coffee filter or cheesecloth-lined strainer. Let stand over a bowl for about 2 hours. Discard accumulated liquid. Measure required drained Astro yogourt. Any remaining drained yogurt can be kept covered and refrigerated for up to one week.
  • If Beaumonde is not available, substitute with ½ tsp (2.5 mL) celery salt.
