Storage: Keep the dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Stir before serving if separation occurs.
Substitution: For a dairy-free version, substitute the plain yogurt with unsweetened coconut yogurt or soy yogurt. Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet flavor profile.
Heat Level: 1 1/4 teaspoons of cayenne provides a moderate kick. Adjust to taste by starting with less cayenne and adding more if you prefer it hotter.
