    I make my own mayo with 1 whole egg plus one egg yolk, 1/2 to 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt or to taste. Blend in a food processor. Drip in 1 cup neutral tasting oil through the drip hole in the food processor tube and blend until the proper consistency.

    You can also blend in 1/2 cup of herbs of your choice to this for an herb mayo.

    Or add garlic, onion and chili peppers for spicy mayo.

    Last night I made a salad with grilled salmon, lettuce, grape tomatoes, hard boiled egg, and avocado. At the suggestion of this thread, I made a dressing out of blended cottage cheese. I added dill and a bit of vinegar to thin it out. It went really well with the egg and avocado, so I could see it working nicely in egg salad. You could use lemon juice or even water in place of the vinegar.

    avocado, plain 0 fat greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, some pepper & sea salt (blended in food processor) OR the same using cottage cheese instead of greek yogurt. YUM! I also use the cottage cheese/avo to make chicken salad and it's delish.

    Can you have hummus? It's great in tuna instead of mayo.
