    Any good alternatives to Mayonnaise?

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I have used the 0 fat mayonnaise or reduced fat varieties but the relish is key so I opt for fage when on a cut.

    I think this is the correct answer. egg whites, vinegar and vegetable oil.

    and it tastes great too!

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