Yogurt - More Than Just A Breakfast Food

Yogurt is more than just a favorite breakfast food. Substituting rich salad dressing with plain nonfat yogurt is a savory, nutritious way to reduce fat and boost flavor in your recipes.

  • Try substituting it for mayonnaise in salad recipes.
  • Thin it with milk for a creamy salad dressing to drizzle over your favorite greens.
  • Strain it through a colander lined with a coffee filter or paper towel for a great lower-fat substitute for sour cream.
  • Zip it up with your favorite spices like curry powder, 1/2 cup grated cheese or even a handful of chopped cilantro for a great dipping sauce.
