Not that mayonnaise is unhealthy, but the dang high calories are just too much...
What are you guys using as an alternative? I mainly want something to go with Chicken salads, egg salad, etc...
Cottage cheese works OK but only when I use it in a sandwich, and I'm off bread for a while...
We have been using more mustard in those dishes and cutting back on mayo. Or a little olive oil and mustard and she has a low this and low that yogurt with olive oil to give it a creamy texture. Not sure what else she puts in the dressing though.
Just my 2 cents.
I don't eat Veganaise but maybe... I drown everything in pico de gallo. Vinegar (Braggs) and oil. Braggs Aminos.
mozzarella maybe? Or would that be too high cal too? Mustard as was said is always a good option. You could make your own pesto etc and be able to control the exact amounts going into it.
Vinegar n oil...excellent.Quote:

But I do love my mayo :/
I have seen people replace it with yogurt in recipes etc. I however have never tried this. The consistency and slight tang flavor they both have may make it work some way. If you try it let me know lol!
1) salsa
2) vinegar and oil
3) olive oil
Fage 0 fat plain yogurt is my favor alternative with tiny bit of squeezable home style sweet relish. It's the relish that does it for me.Quote:

Awesome. Thanks everyone. Great ideas all around. I'm going to get a few of these suggestions tonight and see how it goes.

I just use light miracle whip. 20 calories per serving if I recall. But it may not work as a sub in some recipes.
