Dairy Free: Substitute the ½ cup of sour cream for ½ cup of dairy free sour cream.
Egg Free: Substitute the mayonnaise with the same quantity of eggless mayonnaise. If you can't find it locally, here is a recipe for making your own eggless mayo.
Sour cream substitution: If you don't like sour cream, you can easily substitute it for the same amount of plain Greek yogurt. If you are looking for a salad dressing consistency, you can substitute it for cultured buttermilk.
Buttermilk Ranch Dressing: Substitute the sour cream in this recipe for cultured buttermilk. This will give it a thin, pourable consistency, which is perfect to use as a salad dressing.
