Notes and Substitutions

For a vegetarian version, or if you prefer not to use anchovies, leave the anchovies out and add an extra ¼ teaspoon (2 mL) salt, or substitute in 1 teaspoon (5 mL) drained capers. 

For a vegan version, use the same substitution for anchovies as above, and substitute yogurt with an equivalent amount of plant-based yogurt or mayonnaise.
