PSA: stop swapping yogurt for sour cream in dips, it turns into soup
I brought a spinach dip to a potluck in Denver last weekend and it sat in a puddle of watery liquid within 20 minutes on the table. Swapping plain yogurt for sour cream seemed smart until the water split out and the whole thing looked like a sad science project. Here's the fix: strain the yogurt in a coffee filter for an hour first, or just stir in a spoon of cream cheese to hold it together. Anyone got a swap that keeps a dip thick without the water pooling out?
