I am a mayo freak! I was the girl to order heavy mayo and when I got home put even more mayo because it ws never enough! Now I hvent hd regulr mayo in a few weeks now and have been doing horserdish sauce and sometimes low fat mayo when I hve. Sndwich. Id like to get a honey mustard dressing I caan use with no fat or little fat and little calories. Can anyone reccomend one for me? Or maybe another sandwich condiment other then regular mustard, not a mustrd girl. Thanks!

    You could use avocado in place of mayo. It's really creamy, and it's healthy fat. Hummus is also a good choice. Both of these will add a lot of flavor to your sandwich with little to no saturated fat, and not nearly as many calories.

    For me its not really about an added flavor to a sandwich its about the wetness nd creaminess I just can't do dry sandwiches!

    Avocado is not dry. Just make sure it's ripe. 1/4 of a small avocado is more than enough for one sandwich.

    have you tried different kinds of mustard? I just tried this stone ground mustard and its awesome! It has a very unique taste - and its not dry..Its only 5 calories per tsp - i am not sure the brand though..but i love the dijon/horseradish mustard lol..huge mustard fan! If you must have mayonnaise - try miracle whip light maybe?

    I've always been a Duke's mayo kinda gal. I've cut it wayyy back and am using the lite stuff now. However, if that's not an option, I've heard of a company that make a zero calorie mayo, even flavored zero calorie mayos. I have no idea how they taste though. It's walden farms. I sent them a suggestion on their suggestion page to maybe put together a sampler pack so someone who is new to their brand can try a few things and they sent me a whole bunch of 1.00 off coupons so I'm off to buy some of them soon to try and will report back. :)

    Newman's Own Light Honey Mustard
    Per serving (2 tablespoons): 70 calories, 4 g fat, .5 g saturated fat, 290 mg sodium, 7 g carbohydrate.

    It's a salad dressing -- but that just means you'll use less! If you have a small oil sprayer, fill it up and spritz your sandwiches!

    You may also try adding Greek Yogurt to the Avocado which will make it more "mayo" creamy :)

    Here is a recipe for a honey mustard recipe you can make at home. It's more the consistency of dressing than mustard (but you could tweak that by upping the mustard content or greek yogurt, I think, if you prefer). Two tablespoons is 74 calories, no fat, no cholesterol. It does have 18 carbs and 17 sugars, but that's what honey will do. And I rarely need the whole two tablespoons anyway. I can usually get by with half that for a salad or sandwich. But I'm not a "drown your veggies to mask their flavor" kind of girl.

    When I make it, I use Apple Cider vinegar versus Rice and really prefer to use a locally produced lavender honey because it gives a fantastic zing to the flavor. But that's me.

    I forgot to add that you have to mash up the avocado first and spread it on the sandwich. It's not creamy if it's in slices.

    You could also try fat-free ranch or olive oil and vinegar.

    I spread a wedge of Laughing Cow Light cheese on my sandwich, for example, the garlic and herb one on a turkey sammy. Yum! And only 35 calories per wedge :-D
