What is a good substitute for mayonnaise?

Question

I love mayonnaise, but it's so unhealthy, plus it's packed with a lot of calories. One tablespoon is equivalent to 100 Calories (if Im not mistaken).
So what will I use when a recipe calls for some mayonnaise?
Pls help.

Thank you!

Answer 1

'Light' Miracle Whip.

Or make your own with olive oil, no preservatives, etc.

Plain yoghourt will work in some recipes.

This looks bad, but:

Answer 2

Try making your own mayonnaise.

1/2 cup herb or cider vinegar
1 egg
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp seasalt (optional)
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

Blend the first 4 ingredients well. Then add the oil slowly and continue to blend till the mixture is thick. Place in a covered bottle or jar,and let stand for an hour at room temperature. Then refrigerate till needed.

Or use sour cream or yogart intead. If your recipe calls for one tablespoon of mayonnaise, then it probably is not a necessary ingredient, and can be omitted. But mayonnaise is just eggs and oil, whipped to the maximus.

It probably would have been better to give an example of a particular recipe you are thinking of cooking.

Answer 3

Try using a lighter version of the mayonnaise. It comes 50% calories and fat, or you can get 10%. But the taste of the 10% is awful if you ask me! The 50% is much better. Also, what are you making? In some cases you could use non-fat yogurt, but usually not. You won't get the same results.

Answer 4

I know what you mean - try whipping low fat ricotta with some lemon juice, salt and pepper - it's quite tasty substitute. Good Luck (I'm on 1200 calories a day so I can sympathise!)

Answer 5

I often substitute plain, no fat yogurt for mayo. I make my own salad dressings this way.

Also, cottage cheese is a great substitute for sour cream on a baked potato.

Peace.

Answer 6

I prefer both fruits and fruit and vegetables better, regardless how they look and taste. You desire a little of both.

Answer 7

In the event it's a fruit it includes seeds, otherwise it's a vegetable. And vegetables are usually grown in the ground while fruits are grown in trees.

Answer 8

i replaced into going to furnish you the comparable recipe. merely desire to show out, use organic and organic soy (in case you ought to use it) because of the fact the different stuff comes from GMO soybeans. they are being proved many times returned to reason extreme wellness effects. desire you have been to a nutritionist to make certain why you're allergic to a great form of issues. i've got not at all heard of every physique being allergic to bananas.

Answer 9

Try Vegenaise. It's available in health food stores. Try Whole Foods. They have Vegenaise and Nayonaise. My wife swears by Vegenaise.

Answer 10

don't count calories. eat healthy fats and take flaxseed oil to increase your ratio of omega-3's. (ultimately our ratio of omega-3's to omega-6's should be 1:1) Fat doesn't work like other calories, i.e. carbohydrates. Just try to get mayo that is made from healthy fats and enjoy.
