Frequently Asked Questions About Low mayonnaise
What is low-fat mayonnaise made from?
Low-fat mayonnaise is usually made with egg, water, vinegar or lemon juice, and less oil than regular mayonnaise. Starch or other thickeners may help create a creamy texture; ingredients vary by brand.
Does low-fat mayonnaise taste different from regular mayonnaise?
Yes, low-fat mayonnaise can taste less rich and feel less creamy than regular mayonnaise. The difference depends on the recipe, since some brands use seasonings or thickeners to make up for the reduced oil.
Can you use low-fat mayonnaise in baking?
Yes, low-fat mayonnaise can work in some baked recipes, but it may not give the same moist, tender result as regular mayonnaise. The reduced oil and added water can change the texture, so follow a recipe designed for it.
Can low-fat mayonnaise be used in coleslaw?
Yes, low-fat mayonnaise works in coleslaw. Toss it with the cabbage shortly before serving, since cabbage releases water as it sits and can thin the dressing; add a little at a time to avoid overdressing.
Why does low-fat mayonnaise separate?
Low-fat mayonnaise can separate when its oil-and-water emulsion breaks, often after temperature changes or prolonged storage. Stir it well and keep it refrigerated; if it smells unusual or shows signs of spoilage, discard it.
Can you heat low-fat mayonnaise?
Low-fat mayonnaise is not ideal for direct heating because the emulsion can split and turn oily or watery. Use it as a cold spread or dressing, or add it to a cooked dish after removing the dish from the heat.
How long does low-fat mayonnaise last after opening?
Opened low-fat mayonnaise should be kept refrigerated with the lid tightly closed. Follow the storage and after-opening directions on its package, and avoid dipping used utensils into the jar.
Can you freeze low-fat mayonnaise?
No, freezing low-fat mayonnaise is not recommended. Thawing can break the emulsion, leaving it separated or grainy, and stirring usually does not restore its original smooth texture.
Can low-fat mayonnaise replace sour cream in a dip?
Low-fat mayonnaise can replace some or all of the sour cream in a dip, but the result will taste more like mayonnaise and less tangy. Mix it with lemon juice or yogurt if you want a brighter, lighter flavor.
Is low-fat mayonnaise a good choice for sandwiches?
Yes, low-fat mayonnaise works well as a sandwich spread and adds a creamy layer without the richness of regular mayonnaise. Spread it thinly, especially on moist fillings, so the bread is less likely to become soggy.

What is Low mayonnaise?
Low mayonnaise is a lighter-style version of mayonnaise, an emulsion made from oil and egg with an acidic ingredient such as vinegar or lemon juice. It is usually smooth and creamy, with a gently tangy, savoury taste; the exact thickness and flavour vary by brand.
It works in sandwiches, potato or coleslaw-style salads, and as a dip for chips or raw vegetables. A familiar condiment in many countries, it can bring creaminess without as much fat as standard mayonnaise, though it is not fat-free: it contains 31 g of fat per 100 g. For an even lighter dressing, stir it with plain yoghurt and a little lemon juice.
