Food Swap for Healthy Version of Carrot Raisin Salad
I'm googling and reading and still cant find something to swap out the mayonnaise in carrot raisin salad. The recipe I found said 25 grams of fat for one serving. way too much. I have 5 lbs of shredded carrots to use. I don't want to waste these healthy carrots. Thinking of something that resembles mayo to a tee. Ranch salad dressing dosent seem to come close to tasting like mayo in this salad. Anyone know of a swap I can use for this carrot raisin salad and still taste fabulous?

Greek yogurt works as a substitute for mayo. Sour cream and greek yogurt can be mixed together for a substitute as well.
Better yet, homemade mayo. It's easy enough with an immersion blender, tastes delicious, has lots of healthy stuff in it. Yum. Healthy fats are hardly the enemy!

Fats, including mayo, are the least of my worries. I would use it but not put in tons of it. I know you have heart issues so probably have to be more careful than others. If you can't or won't use regular mayo then I'd just blanch those carrots, freeze them and keep them for steaming later this winter.

Yep still have my horse. I asked about this for "me". I know I always have that option when I have an abundance of carrots. I have treated them to my carrots many times, this is for me this time..I enjoy eating them.In fact I just fed both horses about 10 lbs of carrots I had a month ago.Great ideas thanks everyone. I did find a lower fat gram mayo in the store..i made half and half low cal mayo and FF ranch dressing with little sugar. Ate some today and yesterday, was good ...
