Note

For best results, toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant before adding to the dip.

This dip is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, store the yogurt mixture and almonds separately in the refrigerator, then combine just before serving to maintain the crunch of the almonds.

Feel free to adjust the amount of honey based on your preference for sweetness or the tartness of your yogurt.

Serves approximately 4-6 people as a snack dip.
