I thought I read somewhere that you could mix plain greek yogurt with something and it was a good tasting substitute for mayo. Anyone have suggestions?

    I'm not sure about the greek yogurt but for mayo substitute on sandwiches or wraps, I use hummus (plain or flavored) OR avacado. They provide the creaminess of mayo that I crave. Plus hummus is good source of protein :)

    There's no such thing as a mayo substitute! Mayo is delicious and a super integral part of.. anything! lol I LOVE MAYO!! But if you're looking out for fat and calories, I usually go for the light mayo, if I HAVE to. Some of them have 50 cals per serving, the one I get is 35 cals per serving. It's definitely not the same, but it sounds better than greek yogurt =/ Works for me! :)

    I have read that plan greek yogurt or fat free sour cream can be used as a substitute for mayo on/in most anything! I just bought some fat free sour cream to try it out last week. I used it in my tuna and it was a great low cal, no fat substitute and I was able to get the consistency that i like in my tuna. I haven't tried it in anything else yet, but so far it worked great!

    On a sandwich or wrap, or really anything that I want the taste of mayo in, I go with olive oil mayo. It has got 45 calories and 4g of fat per tbsp compared to regular mayo's 90 calories and 10g of fat.

    I think its plain greek yogurt mixed with avocado makes a great sub for mayo (I think it was in the Dr. Oz show). I use hellmans light as well.

    Fat free Greek yogurt or light mayo is good; however even light mayo has eggs in it. So, Vegenaise works. It tastes just as good, it is lighter tasting, and has no cholesterol. I hate Miracle Whip with a passion so that obviously wasn't an option for me. They make reduced fat Vegenaise too.

    ^^this^^ the Kraft brand olive oil mayo is actually pretty tasty. There are alot of substitutions I've willingly made, but there are still a few things I just want mayo on. :)

    Condiments are a dietiers' wasteland as far as I'm concerned.

    I'd go with avocado. Yes, there is fat, but it is the healthy kind.

    I use miracle whip. It's got 3.5 grams of fat and 40 calories per tablespoon, but I am not trying to lose weight anymore.

    I still use mayo. Either the Best Foods Light or Best Foods with Olive Oil. I think they have around 35 cals a tablespoon.

    If you are trying to get away from mayo altogether, avocado is wonderful added onto sandwiches.
