Sometimes subbing in Greek yogurt for mayo is a bad thing. I don't think a BLT would appreciate having its signature condiment replaced. Othertimes it creates a new superfood dish without the extra fat and calories mayonnaise or sour cream, and twice the flavor. Thick, tangy Greek yogurt compliments leftover cooked chicken much more nicely than simply slathering it with fat.

This curried chicken salad with Greek yogurt is a great example of classic dishes that can be enhanced in the protein and flavor departments by a dollop or two of the magic ingredient. You won't miss the mayo, we promise. You may, however, develop a new love of chicken salad.
