Notes
Customize the flavors of the honey-lime yogurt sauce to suit your taste buds—more zing, more honey, you do you!
Keep a watchful eye on those almonds while toasting—they can go from toasty to burnt faster than you can say “crunchy goodness.”
Feel free to get creative with your garnishes! Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can add an extra burst of flavor.
