- The Crunch: Vibrant vegetables like cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onions introduce a refreshing crunch, but don't hesitate to switch to bell peppers or leafy greens if preferred.
- The Creamy: Tzatziki is the go-to for a creamy zest, but baba ghanoush is equally impressive and accommodating for dairy-free diets.
