Low-Fat Sour Cream Substitute

Cheese 2 tb Buttermilk 1 ts Lemon juice Contributed to the echo by: Randall Chrisman This is something that a friend of mine learned in her efforts to

cut down on the amount of fat in her diet.

Seems she and her husband were quite fond of sour

cream (being the kind of people that would

toss it onto the potato and not stop until you couldn't see the potato!) This is a really great substitute for the toppingsuch to the point that I'm not fond of sour

cream anymore.

Optional: Schilling Cheese Sauce

Mix Hidden Valley Reduced Calorie Ranch

Mix the Hidden Valley Blue Cheese Dressing

MIX .

Dump the cottage cheese, buttermilk and lemon juice into a food processor with metal blade.

Process until smooth (and I mean SMOOTHcan turn grainy unless you give it timewhen you think it's done, process it some more.) When it's done, you have the option of blending in any of the powdered dressing mixes (we use 3/4 package for flavor - more than that and you've reduced your fat intake and TRIPLED your sodium intake.) You need to

pour the contents back into the cottage cheese container and

let it

set for an hour or so
