We’ve opted for plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise to give this dish a boost of protein while maintaining its creaminess.

Notes

Red bell peppers give this dish color and sweetness, but you can substitute a yellow or orange one. Don’t substitute a green bell pepper though, as their flavor isn’t sweet enough.
