This is one of those recipes that have a permanent spot on my party table – so easy to make, and best of all – to be made in advanced. I often caramelize a larger batch of onions beforehand to add to omelet, grilled cheese toasts, and so on – then add into the Greek yogurt mix a day before the event for the flavours to really develop!
