Diet Workshop Mayonnaise
A light, low-fat mayonnaise alternative with a tangy flavor, perfect for health-conscious individuals and those seeking a creamy condiment without the calories.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend cottage cheese, buttermilk, prepared mustard, vinegar, and sugar substitute together at low speed for 1 minute.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, blend the cottage cheese until smooth before adding other ingredients. If you're looking for a tangier flavor, consider adding a bit more vinegar or a splash of lemon juice. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for buttermilk for a thicker consistency. This mayonnaise alternative works well in various dishes, making it a great choice for those following vegetarian recipes.
Serving Suggestions
This mayonnaise pairs wonderfully with sandwiches, wraps, or as a dip for fresh vegetables. It also complements salads, adding a creamy texture without the calories of traditional mayonnaise. Consider using it in a potato salad or as a spread on a veggie burger for a refreshing twist. It can also enhance the flavor of the 63 Chevy Zucchini Bread when used as a spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before using, give it a good stir as separation may occur. This mayonnaise can be used cold in sandwiches or salads, and while it’s best fresh, you can also use it as a base for dips or dressings.

Yes, low-fat cottage cheese can be used to reduce calories while still providing a creamy texture. Just keep in mind that it may alter the flavor slightly, so adjust seasoning as needed.
