I made a lovely rotisserie jerk chicken on the BBQ yesterday. I want to make some chicken salad with the leftovers. I planned on using a few TBS of "LITE" mayo and some plain greek yogurt. Will this work?

Or does anyone have a tried a true mayo substitute for things like, chicken, tuna, egg salad.

Thanks in advance.

    Just plain Greek yogurt

    You can use it for sour cream too

    You won't miss it either

    I've use vegetarian mayo substitute and didn't notice the difference. I found it at my local co-op store.

    If I'm short on calories for the day and don't want to use regular mayo, yeah, I'll do what you already mentioned and do a blend of mayo and greek yogurt, maybe in a 1:3 ratio. I've also used the olive oil mayo instead of regular; I can't tell a taste difference although my sister tells me it's blasphemous

    When I use mayo (rare) I use an olive oil mayo that is about 1/2 the calories and fat of regular mayo.

    Yup.
    I tried the greek yogurt thing but its just not the same as mayo, too much tang for me(and I like green yogurt). maybe 1/2 and 1/2? But ive used this many times in chicken, egg, tuna salads and its awesome

    I prefer fat free sour cream over yogurt but the mix u mentioned sounds good!

    Walden Farms salad dressings would be a good alternative.

    I've also been known to use a little mayonnaise (Duke's is my favorite) along with a greater amount of substitute, which worked out pretty good.

    Your plan sounds good.

    Your plan is what I do - Greek yoghurt with a small amount of mayo for flavour. If you don't like the yoghurty sourness, add a little lemon zest and then it will register as a lemon flavour rather than a yoghurt flavour.

    You can then flavour it like normal mayo. I love honey and mustard.
