    You can use a mashed up avocado in place of mayo as a binder for egg salad, chicken salad, tuna salad etc. I'm so not a fan of avocado but it works quite well; it gives the sandwich a freshness, a lightness that you don't get with mayo. As well, I know people who add a smear of avocado in place of butter/margarine/mayo on sandwiches and for wraps and such but I find the avocado overwhelming for my taste in these cases so I use hummus instead.

    That's a lot of mayonnaise for one sandwich.

    Maybe eat foods you like so you don't need to drown them in mayo? But seriously. I think mayo is gross - I'm a miracle whip girl and I can't eat a turkey sandwich without it so I eat ham sandwiches instead because I like mustard on them - less calories.

    thank you everyone for the great ideas. i will start trying the lower fat mayo's from the store, although the last time I tried they were awful. currently I have mixed some mayo with the creamy garlic dressing I bought yesterday (it was to strong on its own) and will use that

    Oh thanks for that idea! I have the boathouse creamy garlic too. I'll try that instead of mayo for some sandwiches!

    I use roasted red peppers from the jar...then I don't need any mayo.

    Every time I see this thread I'm disappointed that the question isn't "Is mayonnaise an instrument?"

    I love mayonnaise. It's one of the things I refuse to give up. Just log it and move on.... There are some things that I just won't substitute w/ other things. Mayo is one of them.

    I feel this way about sour cream. The light stuff just doesn't cut it for me. I would rather use less and enjoy it.

    Giant/Helmans/Best foods mayo, I'm not giving it up unless I make my own. Life is too short to live without real mayo. HOWEVER, I whipped up the hard boiled egg yolks in the food processor so I had no hard yolk bits and they nice and fluffy and I used less mayo. I also put in mustard to make my deviled eggs. Yummy.

    Mayonnaise is Satan's puss.

    Does that mental image help you reduce your craving?
