518.0. "substituting yogurt for mayonnaise" by SMURF::HAECK (Debby Haeck) Tue Oct 03 1989 15:46

    There's got to be some trick to this!  Spices or something.  I tried
    making tuna salad with plain yogurt and it was horrid!

Debbie, I've not been too successful with that substitution either.  I tried
making some kind of dip once with it instead of sour cream YUCK!  In any
case, why do you want to substitute?  Could you use one of the low cal
mayo's instead?  I like "Best Foods" otherwise known as "Hellman's".  I do NOT
like the WW brand.  If it's to cut down on cholesterol I've noticed that
WW and maybe one or two others now tout cholerterol-free mayo's.

Maybe someone out there  does have the magic-yoghurt-mirror!

    Yes, the biggest reason is calories.  No, I haven't tried the low-cal
    mayo.  I just thought that the substitution sounded right, but had
    trouble making it.

518.3Mix it with cottage cheeseATSE::BLOCKListen to them bits fly!Wed Oct 04 1989 13:4513
	I find onion dip made with yogurt palatable, but I prefer it half
	yogurt, half cottage cheese (throw them in the food processor to 
	de-lump and blend).  The consistency is a little odd, but it tastes
	okay.

	If that still doesn't suit your tastes, there's the new low-fat
	sour cream -- it's still all optionals, but at least it's less 
	of them!

518.4Don't forget cottage cheesePOCUS::FEINMANTue Mar 27 1990 17:027
    Cottage cheese is great instead of mayo in tuna or egg salad (I
    thought "yuck" at first too, try it.)  And, as long as you're mixing
    it with something else, might as well use the 1% cottage cheese.
