Notes
Notes on alternative sweeteners
Some granular sweeteners like erythritol may not dissolve easily and can leave a grainy texture. I like to use powdered stevia or Swerve Confectioners sweetener. If making a Whole30 salad dressing, eliminate the sweetener.How to store
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight jar for up to a week.How to use
- Salad dressing – drizzle (or heap) on your favorite salad
- Sandwich spread – use in place of regular mayo
- Burger sauce – slather on your next burger. After all, this is essentially Big Mac secret sauce and is a fabulous smash burger sauce recipe.
- Dip – this recipe is kind of magical - you can dip anything in it! Add it to veggie platters, dunk BBQ wings, chips, crispy fries and so much more.
Variations
- Healthy Thousand Island – make it without mayo and use your favorite Greek yogurt instead. Replace all or most of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt to reduce the fat and calorie content without sacrificing the creaminess. Or, consider using light mayo instead of full-fat.
- Make it vegan – choose a vegan-friendly mayonnaise or use your favorite dairy-free Greek yogurt
- Add herbs – try a couple pinches of dill or tarragon
- Spicy – add horseradish, finely chopped jalapeno, canned green chilis or your favorite hot sauce, such as Tapatio or Sriracha
- Add egg – finely chop a boiled egg to add more texture and savoriness
- Include onion and garlic – grate fresh onion and add a dash of garlic powder. For a low-FODMAP dip or dressing with a hint of onion, use chopped chives or the green part of a green onion.
- Make it cheesy – add parmesan
- Savory – add ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
