    Plain goat's milk Greek yoghurt with a splash splash of olive oil, salt, cayenne and paprika.

    I thought about that, but I wasn't sure if the tastes would compliment each other. Greek Yogurt seems to be a substitute for a lot of things. I'll have to give it a try.

    Whizzed up soft/silken tofu with lemon juice and mustard mixed in makes a very good mayo substitute - might work with eggs!

    I have heard plain greek yogurt can be used, but I haven't tried it yet since the light mayo I use only has 35 calories in a Tablespoon.

    Not a fan of tofu, unfortunately.

    That reminds me, I'm almost out of paprika!

    Light mayo works. I like adding Dijon mustard to the Greek yogurt though.

    Gonna sound odd but I use Tzatziki. Just add enough to get the texture and flavor you want. It's amazing and low calorie. DELICIOUS.

    I also do that with Tuna.

    I'm a bit obsessed.

    I would just use light mayo (Light Hellmann's mayo is only 35 cal per tbsp).

    What are you going to do with it?

    I make a sandwich filling by chopping up one hard boiled egg with one similar sized toato - as you chop them together the juice in the tomato will bind everything together.

    Also excellent. (I assume you meant tomato?)

    I just plan on using it as a high protein, relatively low calorie snack if I get hungry or for a light lunch.

    Veganaise is a good substitute. Tastes pretty good too in my opinion.

    Veganaise? What sorcery is this?

    I use a cilantro yogurt dip from Trader Joe. It is way better than mayonnaise.
