    You can use greek yogurt instead. Like a plain greek yogurt with a little lemon juice in it.

    i have used hummus in place, also olive oil, also have used a light cesar dressing, they all worked well for me, i still liked the taste of it. probably the hummus and the cesar dressing more so.

    I use olive oil mayo it has 1/2 the fat and calories of regular mayo and I carefully measure out every tablespoon.

    I have tried and can't do it, it's not the same. I use the reduced fat olive oil mayo by Kraft though, and I just get used to using a LOT less. A little dry, but much better calorie-wise.

    make your own mayo, it's really easy and tastes so good, and you know exactly whats in it!!! Or as said above Total Greek Yoghurt is so good and veratile you can use it like cream and as a dressing you can mix it with all sorts including a bit of canderel ;)

    You can thin it out with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, ummm... water... anything really.

    When Im in the mood for Chicken Salad, I will use regular mayonnaise and not go over the traditional serving... I just adjust my daily menu prior to consuming so I can enjoy the real thing.

    I like to add celery, onion, a little bit of chopped walnuts and 1/2 tsp of dried cranberry - ITS AMAZING!
