Greek yogurt as a replacement for sour cream

andyyougoonie

Don't do it. It does not taste the same. I made poppyseed chicken last night following a recipe that calls for greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It was not nearly as good.  It had a weird tang.  H ate it but asked me to cross that recipe off the list for future meals. 

DD ate one bite, made a sour face and said "No thanks!".  lol

I use just regular plain yogurt as a sub for sour cream and mayo in my food all the time, but not for DH or the boys.  I like it.

Very good to know.

Plus I really love sour cream.  It's one of my favorite condiments.

I've used it n place of heavy cream or ricotta in a few pasta dishes.  It's okay, but pretty sour for my tastes.

Yea, I can't stand Greek yogurt.  I love me some sour cream though!

I just cannot get behind the greek yogurt love. However, I sometimes use regular plain yogurt in my dressings.

It made me really sad. I've read so much about how they taste the same but GY is so much better for you blah blah blah. Shenanigans.

F?cking Oikos propoganda.

Greek yogurt is just nasty TBH. I think I will stick with my Yoplait yogurt, thank you.

Ok wait.  Did you buy the full fat greek yogurt?  And you can't get that nasty Chobani or whatever.  There is a specific one called Athens or Adonis or something.  It is incredible.  Low fat greek yogurt is not good.

Oh no! I'm one of those annoying people who do this substitution all the time. My favorite is to use it on tacos (haha). I can't taste the difference. I guess my palate isn't as refined as everyone else's.

John mothereffin Stamos told me it was good.

Greek yogurt cannot replace sour cream. Because Greek yogurt only strained 50% whey( typ. take about 4 hours) from plain yogurt. If you keep strain plain yogurt for another 4 hours, the most whey will stain out from yogurt, it become yogurt cheese, you can use yogurt cheese to replace your sour cream. visit here to see how to strain your plain yogurt https://www.easy-homemade-yogurt.com/Strain-Yogurt.html 

I strain my homemade yogurt many times, I love it, it taste better than sour cream.

This is a little to technical for Pinterest.
