    plain greek yogurt or light ranch dressing.

    You can add seasonings of your choice to the greek yogurt

    Sounds horrible but it's really good - hummus.

    You can always soft boil the eggs so the yolk is still a bit runny, which allows it to create a creamy texture without the need for mayo. if you add a tablespoon on non-fat plain greek yogurt and some mustard powder, it will taste just like traditional egg salad!

    I often use plain greek yogurt or light sour cream and add whatever herbs/spices that I want. Both offer that creamy, tart-ish type flavoring :) But I actually do like mayo so it depends on my mood haha

    Another vote for plain Greek yogurt, maybe with a bit of sriracha hot sauce!
    Or, I also like using a wedge of light laughing cow cheese.

    Sour cream or any of the Walden Farms line (zero cal mayo, ranch, ranch/bacon, etc). The other ideas have already been suggested.

    I have also used grated carrot. There is enough moisture in the carrot to help things stick together

    I would just eat it without? mash it up and put it in your pita or on your toast fewer calories and less work. Personally I like mayo :)

    I love eggs but that sounds sick. No offense! haha

    I made a quick egg salad when I was out of mayo and I just used mustard and a touch of italian dressing (and salt & pepper)... i thought it was pretty good still.

    Also - avocado!!!

    I made egg salad once with avocado.

    It did not turn out right, next time make the egg salad, then just add the avocado to the sandwich

    I hate, hate, hate mayo. I just leave it out if it calls for a recipe that has another creamy ingredient...and add a little extra of said creamy ingredient. If I am making a "salad" of some sort (like tuna salad), I use greek yogurt.

    The simplest answer is Miracle Whip. I honestly can't taste the difference, but most people can apparently.

    Miracle Whip has more sugar in it, so it tastes sweeter than real mayo. My family is polarized on that particular debate. My dad loves the sweet Miracle Whip, my sister loves the lemony Helmann's real mayo.

    My girls don't like greek yogurt. They say it tastes too sour. They use plain yogurt, unflavored. They like to add a packet of powdered ranch seasoning to make dips for when we have block parties in our neighborhood. My oldest daughter uses it as a spread on her sandwiches.
