Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (fat-free or low-fat)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt. Make sure to choose fat-free or low-fat options to keep your sauce heart-healthy.
Step 2
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking the yogurt. This will help create a creamy, emulsified consistency similar to classic mayonnaise.
Step 3
Add the lemon juice to the mixture. The acid in the lemon juice not only adds flavor but also helps to emulsify the ingredients even further.
Step 4
Stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. These ingredients will add depth and enhance the flavor of your mayo sauce.
Step 5
Continue to whisk the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary—adding a little more lemon juice for tang or salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Step 7
Transfer the mayo sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Enjoy your heart-healthy mayo sauce as a spread, dip, or dressing with your favorite dishes.
