Kraft Miracle Whip Salad Dressing has 1/2 the fat of regular mayonnaise.

This sounds great. Would anyone who knows how to

change recipes without ruining them, suggest a low

fat, nonmayonaise dressing which could be used? Thank

you.

Hi Diana. I really love Vegenaise by Follow Your

Heart. To me it is a lot like Best Foods regular

mayo, but it is vegan, lower in fat and calories

and just tastes better than real mayo.

But people that used to prefer using Miracle Whip

salad dressing spread before going vegan or

looking for lower fat mayo, I have heard, often

prefer a different brand of vegan mayo... I think

it is the Nasoya or something like that.

Maybe someone here that uses the other vegan

mayo brand will chime in.

But all that aside, you could certainly use Vegenaise

in this recipe and have good results.

By far the lowest calorie contender in the vegan mayo

category, and my personal favorite, is Nayonaise, at

only 35 calories per Tablespoon:

However, it is high in sodium.

Their fat free variety is only 10 calories per Tb:

I haven't seen this latter in my local grocery.

Thank you. I have some Veganaise but don't like it.

However, I have now read that it has to be

refrigerated before opening which I didn't do. So

maybe I'll try it again and the other vegan mayonaise.
