Re: not all sour cream is the same

I have tried several different brands of sour cream over the years and always come back to Daisy!

@shortbreadlover  You're right not all sour cream is the same, I make my "sour cream" with cashews!  No label worries....

I make a non-dairy creamy herb dressing using raw cashews:

 

1 cup raw cashews

3/4 cup water

3 tbsps cider vinegar

1 1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp sugar

1/4 tsp garlic powder

2 tbsp minced chives

1 tbsp minced parsley

1/2 tsp pepper

 

Grind cashews in blender on low speed for 15 seconds.  Add water, vinegar, salt, onion and garlic powder, and sugar, then blend on low speed for 5 seconds.  Let sit for 15 minutes.

Blend on low speed for 1 minute.  Scrape down sides of jar and blend on high speed for 4 minutes.  Pour into bowl, cover, and chill in fridge for 45 minutes.  Stir in chives, parsley, and pepper.  Stir in water by tablespoons if thinner consistency is desired.

You apparently are using one of  the same recipes I've just  seen this afternoon in  my new issue of  Cooks Illustrated magazine for non-cream-based salad dressings that use  cashews and other types of substitutes.

 

There are some very interesting combinations.

I got this recipe from a lady that works in a booth at the local farmer's market.  Don't get that magazine, but might pick one up next time I'm shopping.

Re: not all sour cream is the same

I didn't realize this, so thanks for the post. I only buy our local Prairie Farms (St. Louis area) or Daisy and know that both are 100% sour cream. In Iowa, I bought Anderson Erickson - another good product. It pays to check the labels.

Thanks for letting us know. I thought they were basically the same.

Re: not all sour cream is the same

I had no idea.  Thank you for posting.  I’m making chicken stroganoff tomorrow and will be sure to get the real deal.
