I'm constantly experimenting with ways to lighten things up a bit without sacrificing flavor. For this recipe, I add low-fat plain yogurt instead of sour cream. It may not seem like a huge difference, considering the fact that I use whole mayo, but every single change, in combination, is important in my food world.
