Plain yogurt

The first option for a Greek yogurt alternative comes from the same probiotic family as the first. Because they are manufactured from comparable components, comparing plain yogurt to Greek yogurt is simple. Plain yogurt, on the other hand, has more water, less protein, and less saturated fat than Greek yogurt, making it less creamy and thick. Plain yogurt works well as a substitute for Greek yogurt in dips like tzatziki sauce. With the addition of fresh dill and cucumbers, the tanginess of the yogurt will still shine through. Tzatziki can be used as a dip for crudités or as a topping for handmade gyros.

Not feeling inspired by Mediterranean flavors? To top your chili-broiled salmon, you may also use plain yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. After the heat of the fish, the yogurt gives a pleasing creaminess and isn't runny enough to produce a huge sensory disruption in your tongue.
