How to Replace Mayonnaise in Salads? Simple Sauces That Will Make Guests Lick Their Fingers"

Avocado, Greek yogurt and even hummus are the secrets of sauces that will make your Olivier or Herring under a Fur Coat healthier and tastier.

Nutritionist Anna Semenova ( Health ) claims: "These alternatives contain 3 times fewer calories and are rich in fiber. For example, avocado lowers cholesterol levels, and yogurt improves intestinal microflora."

Avocado Lime Dressing

Mash the pulp of 1 avocado, add the juice of half a lime, a pinch of salt and a clove of garlic. For a piquant taste, add a drop of Tabasco.

Chef Elena Prokhorova ( Eat at Home blog) advises: "Use 10% fat yogurt - it does not make the sauce watery and holds the texture perfectly. If the sauce is too thick, add a spoonful of kefir."

Reader Marina from Kazan admitted that her husband didn’t even notice the substitution in the salad – he says it tastes better than with mayonnaise.

Greek Yogurt with Dill

Mix 200 g of yoghurt, a handful of chopped dill, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and a pinch of black pepper. This sauce goes well with vegetable slices and meat.

The magazine "Culinary Express" conducted an experiment: 89% of participants preferred yogurt dressing to mayonnaise.

Hummus as a base

Mash a can of chickpeas with 2 tbsp tahini, lemon juice and garlic. Add water until creamy.

Nutritionist Olga Usenko ( Men's Health ): "Hummus is rich in plant protein - it is ideal for vegans. And tahini contains calcium, which is lacking in traditional mayonnaise."

Readers confirm that with this sauce even Mimosa has become healthy, and children simply adore this dressing.
