- Cut each pita bread into triangles and place them on a baking sheet.

Notes
Tip: Feel free to substitute the Greek yogurt with sour cream for a different flavor profile.
For added flavor, consider mixing in chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil into the dip. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The dip can be served cold or at room temperature, and the pita chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in a sealed bag for a couple of days.
