Description
 Standard bottles of mayonnaise are filled with cheap and inflammatory vegetable oils, sugar, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. Instead, make this healthy swap in all your mayo-based dishes, like potato salad, deviled eggs, macaroni salad, French Onion dip, and tuna salad. The secret is Greek yogurt, which is low and fat and high in protein, making this mayo significantly lower in calories.

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients until smooth. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week

  2. This recipe makes about 1.75 cups (428 g), or 28 servings of 1 tbsp (15 g). For reference, a tablespoon of standard mayo contains the following:
    • 7x the calories (90 cal)
    • 10x the fat (10 g)
    • No protein

  3. Here's a super simple potato salad I made by mixing some homemade mayo with leftover roasted sweet potatoes. It's creamy, sweet, rich, and delicious, all while significantly lower in fat and calories
