plain yogurt

[mommacody]

i bought a large container of plain yogurt for a recipe i was making this past weekend. turned out i never made the recipe (it was a chicken dish i was making for dh and kids - i'm a vegetarian though). so now i'm not sure what to make with it. i already have so much of my own yogurt that i bring to work for a snack, so eating it straight is pretty much out. any vegetarian recipes out there that call for plain yogurt?

i already used some for a waldorf salad - yum!

Anything that calls for mayonnaise basically you can use the plain yogurt in it's place. Think tuna, or egg salad. (not sure if you eat fish or eggs??) But any veggie casserole .....?
I use it in place of mayo all the time for just about everything and my family never knows the difference.
I always keep plain nonfat yogurt in my fridge.

HTH's,

You can also use it to replace sour cream.

I always buy plain yogurt just to eat. I add sweetener to it, but not as much as the presweetened yogurt has. I like buying the plain stuff because then I can control how much sugar goes into it - or honey, or whatever flavoring you perfer.

I suggest you check out Stonyfield Farms website. I know they have a TON of yogurt recipes that are often very inventive and almost always healthy.

Wouldn't this taste rather tangy in comparison to mayo or sour cream? I'll have to try it....

Hi-

I love plain yogurt spooned onto fresh oranges.... the sweet orange complements the sour of the yogurt wonderfully.

Sometimes I'll put a tbsp of grapenuts ( or other crunchy cereal)on the yogurt and oranges .. That works for my taste buds too!
