This healthy version of the delicious, but extremely rich mayonnaise contains hardly any fat and is good for cholesterol levels!

Just like the regular mayonnaise, this light version can also be modified and spiced up: With pressed garlic cloves you can conjure up aioli in no time. For an aromatic remoulade, simply add chopped tarragon, mustard, capers and diced cucumber.

I have a question... When you say "Mix in the drained yogurt", do you mean the strained yogurt or the liquid whey from the yogurt? If the latter, what volume should it be? Thank you.

Hi - yes, the strained yogurt, not the whey. Sorry for any confusion!
