In reply to Jennifer.

Jennifer,

Thank you for your comment; no this is not a typo…this is simply how I like to substitute for this particular instance because I love the extra concentrated flavor of the dried herbs (even though I’m a huge fan of fresh herbs)….I usually use more fresh herbs in my salads, fish and poultry dishes however when it comes to substitutes, I often use more dried than fresh herbs. Hope this helps; have a wonderful weekend and thank you again for your comment.

Best,

Amie

I love all of the subs for Greek yogurt. I’m a recent Greek yogurt convert. I can’t imagine my kitchen without it!

One question though. When you say, 1 Tbsp. Fresh Herbs: 2 Tbsp. dried herbs, is there a typo? Dried herbs are much more concentrated and flavorful than fresh. I’ve always read 1 Tbsp fresh=1 tsp dried and have gone by that (loosely, as I’ve found I like more seasoning and/or have too many dead taste buds).
