Notes from Craig
New Sour Cream is a 1:1 substitute for dairy sour cream and is great with dip mixes.
For a tangy sour cream, use 4 tsp each lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. For a milder version, use 3 tsp each.

Adjusted the acids from 4 tsp to "3-4 tsp" each. Using 3 tsp each creates a milder sour cream.
