8 Ways to Use Yogurt

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 Make an easy and tasty guacamole by mashing an avocado with plain yogurt. I add Rotel diced tomatoes and green chile, to taste. Mix well.
• 2 Make an iced latte with vanilla flavored yogurt, strong coffee, ice, and sugar or sweetener. Place the ingredients in a blender, and blend until the desired consistency.
• 3 Make a potato topper with plain Greek yogurt, chives, and green onion.
• 4 If you need buttermilk for a recipe, combine 2/3 cup of plain yogurt and 1/3 cup of milk. Mix well. Let stand 5 minutes before adding to your recipe.

Preparation

Step 1

5 Add yogurt to my tuna salad. Substitute 1/2 of the mayonnaise with plain yogurt.

6 Use plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise or sour cream when making a dip.

7 Lighten up a recipe by substituting half of the oil or shortening with 3/4 the amount of yogurt. Example: If a recipe calls for 1 cup of oil, use 1/2 cup of oil and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of yogurt.

8 replace part of the butter in a recipe. Instead of using 1 cup butter, use 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup of yogurt.
