    I used it the other night in place of sour cream in my chicken tortilla soup. I'll be trying it on fajitas some night this week. I use the greek style plain yogurt.

    I definitely use it as sour cream all the time! With chips/salsa, on pasta, on tacos, etc...

    LOVE greek yogurt on potatoes. Going to use it to make coleslaw dressing today instead of mayo. No extra added fat and more protein to boot.

    I make homemade ranch dip with hidden valley ranch dip packet(dry) and substitute plain non-flavored yogurt for sour cream.
    16 oz (2 cup) sour cream & packet = 560 total calories or 17.5 calories per tablespoon
    16 oz (2 cup) plain yogurt & packet = 360 total calories or 11.25 calories per tablespoon GREAT FOR POTATOES OR SANDWICHES
    8 oz (1 cup), 8 oz Fat free milk & packet = 300 total calories or 9.38 calories per tablespoon GREAT FOR SALADS
    16 oz (2 cup) fat free milk & packet = 240 total calories or 7.5 calories per tablespoon IF YOU LIKE A THINNER SALAD DRESSING

    This is what I like to do so I don't sacrifice loosing flavor :) Hope this helps :)
