Two-Pea Chicken Salad #MadeWithChobani

It’s no secret that I am a fan of greek yogurt. I like the slight tang that it offers and the thicker consistency. Even my cat, Leopold enjoys it!

When I received a lovely package from Chobani as part of their #MadeWithChobani campaign, we were so excited!

We’ve already set to work putting the greek yogurt to use in many ways.

Replacing  Sour  Cream  or  Mayonnaise

Using Greek Yogurt is a great way to make a dish healthier while still keeping the tang of sour cream or mayonnaise. Some ways that I’ve used greek yogurt to replace those ingredients are:

• Healthier Spinach Artichoke Dip
• Two-Pea Pesto Chicken Salad
• Hawaiian Macaroni Salad
• Topping Nachos

Adding  Creaminess  to  Sauces  and  Soups

Sometimes you need just a little more creaminess in a dish but you don’t want the added fat. I often add some Greek yogurt to my dishes to help emulsify sauces or thicken broths. Recently I boiled some pasta, added some Indian Vindaloo sauce, mixed it with Chobani Greek Yogurt and Voila!.

• Vindaloo & Greek Yogurt Shells Topped with Scallions
• Thai Basil Pesto Penne & Shrimp
• White Chicken Chili

In  Desserts

Yogurts are a good dairy-alternative in baked goods as well, especially breads and muffins.

• Cherry Scones with Preserved Cherry Blossoms
• Black Tea Banana Bread with Condensed Milk Topping

As  the  Star

And of course, who couldn’t love an amazing yogurt dip to cool a hot dish or a frozen yogurt?

• Strawberry Frozen Yogurt (my favorite yogurt recipe to date!)
• Sweet Potato Quinoa Cakes with Tzatziki Sauce
