- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt OR sour cream, plain (full fat is best)
- 1/2 cup milk (whole is best)
For lemon juice or vinegar substitute:
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice OR white vinegar
- 1 cup milk (scant), meaning a little less than a cup, see recipe instructions

- Use in recipe as needed. Refrigerate any leftovers.
For lemon juice or vinegar substitute:
