Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving leftovers.
Swap dill/chives with basil or parsley if needed.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or roasted jalapeño for variations.
Use plant-based feta and coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
