Notes
Storage: Cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. Make-Ahead: Prepare the dip up to the point before broiling, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 5 minutes to the cook time when reheating. Substitutions: Substitute ground beef or turkey for lamb. Use spinach instead of kale. For a dairy-free version, use a coconut-based yogurt and omit the feta (add extra salt and lemon). Serving Suggestions: Serve hot with pita chips, crusty bread, or vegetable sticks. It can also be served over cooked rice or quinoa for a complete one-pot meal.
