Mayo replacement

I've been replacing hummus for mayo as a dressing for tuna fish. Roasted garlic is good and jalapeno hummus and roasted red pepper hummus make great tasting tuna salad with huge fat reduction. Good stuff.

    Sounds interesting - I have been spreading light laughing cow cheese on my sandwiches in place of mayo. I actually like it better!

    I use cottage cheese, more delicious proteins.

    I use Miracle Whip calorie-wise. One tablespoon is only 30 calories. I probably use half of that if I make a sandwich. ;)

    I use Greek yogurt in my tuna salad to save calories and up the protein. I may have to try the hummus though with tuna or possibly with chicken.

    I have used the laughing cow cheeses on sandwiches instead of mayo and like it better too!

    I mostly use greek yogurt, cottage cheese and laughing cow cheese as mayo substitutes. I made an awesome "fauxtato" and egg salad with cauliflower, greek yogurt, turkey bacon, mustard, paprika , celery and pickle. I eyeballed the ingredients though, next time I need to measure everything out so I can put it in My Recipes on here >_<

    There's a recipe on the MFP that uses mashed avocado for mayo in tuna salad:

    I haven't tried it. I use "Lite" mayo (low fat and low calorie) or canola mayo (my preferred, really).

    I also use laughing cow, cottage cheese, avocado and greek yoghurt..! though greek yoghurt tends to be the most mayo-like and I spice it up with smoked paprika and cayenne pepper! I've never tried using hummus though it sounds lovely!!

    Dropped mayo entirely and developed different tastes. DW hardly used mayo growing up, mustard was the main condiment. It is just a different approach to replacing mayonnaise.

    This. The only condiment I can stomach.

    Hellmann's® - Low Fat Mayonnaise Dressing - Rich, creamy and delicious. Only 15 calories and 1 gram of fat per serving.

    I also use it with Heinz® Reduced Sugar Ketchup (Only 5 calories) sometimes; when you mix the two it gives you a great tasting sandwich / lite wrap dressing.
