Notes

Making the strained kefir:
  1. About a day in advance, line a mesh strainer with coffee filters, a double layer of cheese cloth, or a natural (untreated or dyed) paper towel. Rest the strainer over a bowl so it hovers (doesn’t touch the bottom), leaving at least 1 ½” of room between the bottom of the bowl and the strainer. Pour the kefir into the lined strainer, cover with plastic wrap or foil, and place in the refrigerator for roughly 24 hours to strain. After 24 hours, you should be left with a thick kefir “cheese.”
  2. After 24 hours, remove the strainer, discard the liquid, and scoop the kefir “cheese” into a seal-able container. It will keep in the fridge for about a week.
  3. When you’re ready to make your dip, combine all dip ingredient together in a bowl and mix well. Refrigerate for at least an hour for the flavors to mesh.
