Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure the skim milk is scalded properly before mixing. If you prefer a different flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a squeeze of lemon juice. When using artificial sweeteners, adjust the quantity to taste, as some are sweeter than sugar. This mayo can also be used as a base for dressings or dips and pairs beautifully with 'Philly' Pound Cake.
Serving Suggestions
This skim milk mayonnaise is a versatile spread perfect for sandwiches, salads, or as a dip for fresh vegetables. Try pairing it with a fresh veggie platter or using it to add creaminess to a potato salad. It also works well as a dressing base for leafy greens or can enhance the flavor of a classic Corn And Potato Scallop. Serve chilled for the best taste.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. It may thicken as it chills, so stir it well before using.
