WELCOME TO MIX IT UP MONDAY WITH MAD DASH MIXES

WEEK 29

Throughout my culinary career, I have discovered that using mixes can make a cook’s life so much easier! Using a mix to make a recipe is as simple as adding a few ingredients to the mix, stirring, cooking or chilling and serving! Sometimes, substituting ingredients becomes necessary for a variety of reasons. Today, I needed an alternative to using sour cream in dip recipes. Why? Well, I was out of sour cream and didn’t have thyme to run to the store. What I did have was Greek Yogurt!

I was in luck! The Greek Yogurt I had was plain, not flavored, so I was sure that I could substitute it for the sour cream in my dip recipe.

So, just what are we mixin’ this week?

LET’S MAKE BLT DIP!

Ingredients

8 oz mayonnaise
8 oz Greek Yogurt plain, not flavored
1 packet BLT Dip Seasoning mix A Mad Dash Mix Blend
1/2 cup shredded cheese
2 Tbsp bacon bits optional

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, blend the contents of the Seasoning Mix packet together 1 cup (8 oz) Greek Yogurt. Mix until well blended
Add 1 cup (8 oz) mayonnaise to the Greek Yogurt/seasoning mix. Blend well
Once the mayonnaise, Greek Yogurt & seasonings are well blended, add 1/2 cup shredded cheese of your choice. I used mozzarella . Blend well
Cover the bowl and chill for at least 4 hour to allow the flavors to blend. After the dip has chilled, put the dip into a serving bowl. Sprinkle top of dip with bacon bits if desired
Serve the dip with crackers, vegetables or chips

Notes

8 oz sour cream can be used in place of the Greek Yogurt

In addition to vegetables, this dip can be served with tortilla chips, potato chips, or crackers.

The dip can be used as a spread on bread when making a sandwich

The dip could be served in a bread bowl. To do this, simply cut the top off a loaf of italian bread to form a bowl. Place the dip in the bread bowl. The portion of the loaf that was cut off can be cut into smaller pieces and used as a dipper for the dip.

Why Use Greek Yogurt in place of Sour Cream

What makes Greek Yogurt a good alternative to using sour cream in dip recipes? Greek yogurt and sour cream both have a thick texture Greek yogurt has less fat, more protein and fewer calories than regular sour cream. Both Greek yogurt and sour cream have a tangy texture.

While I haven’t made the BLT Dip using sour cream yet, I was pleased with how the dip turned out using the Greek yogurt. My husband & I both thought it was delicious! To me, the taste was similar to 1000 Island dressing.

I will definitely make this dip again.
