I was just saying I have to find a lighter mayo. I use Hellmans and LOVE IT but I remember their ligher version tasting like kaka. But this was years ago. I'm willing to give it another try.
Ok maybe I'm just picky (but probably not, I'm fat!) but I didn't like the Just Too Good. I had it in chicken salad with plain ff yogurt and it was spine shivering YUCKY. I threw it all out. Shoulda tasted it before I put it in the chicken. I tried to mask it but it just got worse. Next!!??
I use real mayo because my husband doesn't like anything low fat, and I don't feel like buying 2 of everything. However, one thing I used to do was mix 1/2 light Hellmans w/ 1/2 regular Hellmans. Thus, if I used 1/4 cup of mayo for some tuna I made, I'd use 1/8 cup of light Hellmans & 1/8 cup of regular Hellmans.
Oh I forgot about the tuna kits. StarKist has 4 flavors right now. Hickory Smoked,
Zesty Lemon Pepper, Herb & Garlic and Sweet & Spicy. I haven't tried them yet, but plan to. I suppose chicken and tuna would be good tossed in just about any vinaigrette. That is how I used to eat tuna all the time, but for some reason I quit.
If I can't find any low/ff mayo that I like, I'll move onto salad dressings and try those. Traditionally I hate light dressings that are creamy. I always taste chemicals. Blech!
I make fake mayonnaise at home that I prefer to the store bought light mayonnaises that are available:
6 oz silken tofu
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp kosher salt
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
black pepper
Just mix everything but the pepper in a food processor (or blender) until smooth, add pepper to taste.
I got the recipe from "A New Way to Cook" and the cookbook says it will keep for about a week. I usually halve the recipe because it makes a cup, which is more than I really need.
