FAQs

Can I make the dipping sauce dairy-free?

Yes, substitute the Greek yogurt and buttermilk with dairy-free yogurt and a splash of dairy-free milk or water to keep the creamy texture.

Cut the blue cheese into firm, bite-size cubes and skewer gently but securely next to the celery and chicken to help stabilize it.
