Sounds good & I’d love to try this version. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty 🙂
how much vinegar? just says 1/4 white vinegar, is that a 1/4 cup, teaspoon, tablespoon?
Sorry about that it is 1/4 cup. All fixed up.
Sounds so good! Thank you for linking up with us at Idea Box link party!
Michelle, my page doesn’t have amounts for the yogurt or the vinegar. I’m guessing 3/4 of a cup of yogurt and 1/4 cup of vinegar. Is that correct? The recipe looks wonderful, and I’d like to make it this weekend. Thanks.
Sorry about that it is 1/4 cup white vinegar & 3/4 plain yogurt. All fixed up. Thanks
