Mayonnaise, although it is truly wildly popular, has too high a calorie content, which is why nutritionists do not recommend getting carried away with it.
If you decide to follow their advice and replace your favorite sauce with a healthier option, take a look at the options listed below.
First of all, let's note that using pure olive oil instead of mayonnaise makes no sense - its caloric content is much higher than a mixture of oil, vinegar and eggs.
The same goes for dressing made from oil and lemon juice – using it only increases the calorie content of the dish.
But the option with avocado puree can be considered, because it only has 220 kcal. The downside is that avocado is not an affordable product, and finding a ripe fruit in the store is a real problem.
Pesto sauce contains fewer calories than mayonnaise – about 444 kcal. The seasoning is very tasty, but it also costs an order of magnitude more.
But sour cream mixed with spices will not hit your wallet so hard. In addition, the caloric content of this sauce is only 120 kcal.
You can also combine sour cream with mustard (162 kcal), and as a result you will have at your disposal a budget, piquant and healthy sauce.
