2. USE IN SANDWICHES
Mayonnaise lends a great flavor and creamy texture to dishes like chicken or tuna salad sandwiches. As an alternative to mayonnaise try cultured sour cream with a touch of lemon or vinegar and salt. Spread it directly on the bread or replace mayo with sour cream in the sandwich spread.
3. MAKE SALAD DRESSINGS AND DIPS WITH THE BEST SOUR CREAM
Many creamy dressings and dips are made with a combination of sour cream and mayonnaise. The mayonnaise does change the flavor a bit, but with additional acidity, it really isn’t necessary. Simply replace the mayonnaise portion with sour cream and add extra lemon juice.
Incorporate sour cream into vinaigrette, to bind the oil and vinegar together and create a lightly creamy dressing of any flavor.
