Mayo Substitute?

SarahBethS

Anyone know of something low calorie I can use for egg salad and tuna besides mayo? I don't like miracle whip and I will use light mayo if I have to but I'd rather not. Any ideas?

Try Laughing Cow light swiss wedges. It may sounds strange, but it is good.

I use mustard and maybe a dribble of water or butter. Mustard is really low cal.

greek yogurt

I use Vegenaise in either original or grapeseed oil versions. You don't need to use much, and it's only about 90 cals. per 2 TBSP. I always use 1 TBSP instead and so it's really low. It also has zero cholesterol, which I love.
It tastes ALOT less...greasy and fatty than regular mayo. I would never want to eat reg. mayo again. Here's the link: http://www.followyourheart.com/

I got this out of a vegetarian cookbook and I have not bought mayo since. It is not as thick as mayo but mimics the flavor well and is easy to make.

1 box silken tofu
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tsp sugar/honey/sweetener of your choice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dijon mustard
2-3 tablespoons canola (or olive) oil

mix in blender/processor.

I use low fat sour cream, it's not sweet like miracle whip and lf mayos, nice and tangy and only 40 calories for 2 tablespoons! makes a really cream sandwich enjoy!

Plain Flavored Yogurt

I use the Hellman's canola mayonaise. The ingredient list doesn't make me cringe, and it's a lot healthier than regular mayo. I can NOT tell the difference. And I use a lot less than I would have used regular. I try to avoid mayo whenever possible, but there are somethings (to me) that MUST have it, so I use this.

For egg salad I do a little Greek yogurt, some lemon juice, celery, and chives on whole grain bread with a little lettuce. Yum.

Hummus.

I just use regular sour cream in chicken salad and egg salad. If I'm making chicken salad with apples & raisens/craisens, I may sub some fat free plain yogurt for the sour cream. I've always hated mayo. :sick:

On sandwiches lately I've fallen in love with onion and chive cream cheese (again, just buy the stinkin' regular kind) and I also often use mashed avocado.

If you are taking about my recipe, I did a little math and if you ate 1/8th of the recipe (1-2 tablespoons) it would be 63 calories.

any kind of Salsa.

I second vegenaise, and hummus. Both are excellent for you, and delicious.

yogurt cheese

I started using veganaise when I found out I had milk and egg allergies. I love it! I use it on sandwiches. I also make a veggie dip out of it. I mix equal amounts of veganaise and plain soy yogurt (those without allergies could use regular) with a little dash of seasonings or Hidden Valley party dip mix. Yummo on my veggies. Hummus is good too.

I have used Laughing Cow cheese on my sandwiches in place of mayo but im not sure about with tuna salad!

I'm on a tzatziki sauce kick. I love the flavor of it and it has less calories than mayo
