Alternative salad dressing to mayonnaise

[Bristolgal]

Hey,

I've been really good at eating salads most days, but cannot shake my love of mayonnaise as a salad dressing. But it is so high in calories. Off the top of my head it's about 85cal for 25g (and I have more than 25g!!).
Can anyone suggest a lower calorie, but equally delicious salad dressing? Preferably creamy. Otherwise a chutney maybe.

Thanks!

Maybe not what you’re looking for but if you go to town on the exciting-ness of the salad then the dressing is no longer as important. 100 best salads is a great little book* and learn to love the salad for the flavours it offers - not the dressing.

zero fat greek yoghurt? mabe start of 50/50 mayo and work your way down?

Delia did a recipe for a low fat mayo type dressing.

I'll try and google it.

I use Tesco's light garlic mayo. Not sure of the calories but it's half a syn on slimming world for a table spoon.

Here you go.

She also has low fat thousand island/blue cheese/vinaigrette recipes.

Never tried it but it sounds simple to make.

I realise this is a few months old now, but I find American mustard is a good mayo alternative. You could even mix it with a little extra light mayo and it would be considerable less. There are negligible calories in it.

I use a drizzle of low fat salad cream 18kcal.

I put a teaspoon of wholegrain mustard on my salad, it's weirdly good.

Hellmanns do a Light light mayonnaise- 11 calories per TABLESPOON apparently. Taste wise it's acceptable!!

I just put a splash of olive oil and some balsamic and it’s lovely.

Full fat mayo has 85 calories per 10g!

Use low fat plain yoghurt with some herbs chopped into it, chives, garlic, dill, or mustard stirred in, or a spot of paprika or cayenne pepper, or some Indian spices.

That sounds lovely Ada

1 Tablespoon of Tahini
4 of fresh lemon juice
Water to suit your thickness preference
Crushed garlic clove

Whisk or blend and chill - really tasty so need v little and creamy/garlicky freshness
