How to Make Homemade Low-Calorie Mayonnaise in Easy Steps

Okay, listen up! Have you ever tried mayonnaise that’s like a hug in a jar but you just realized it’s giving you a calorie anxiety attack? Yeah, I feel ya. It’s like trying to eat healthy while the devil on your shoulder is yelling “more mayo!” So today, we are going to make low-calorie mayo at home. You know, the kinda stuff that won’t make your scale scream at you! Trust me, it’s gonna be epic.

Step One: Gather Your Secret Weapons
First things first! You need to raid your kitchen. Go grab some plain Greek yogurt, mustard (not mystery mustard from last year), lemon juice (fresh or bottled – ain’t judging), and maybe a little salt and pepper for flavor explosion. That’s right! Only four things plus some measuring spoons.

Step Two: Yogurt Party Time
Now take that Greek yogurt. Open the container and scoop out about one cup of it. Be careful, don’t let any escape or it’ll start a yogurt rebellion in your fridge. Put it in a bowl and try not to eat half of it before you mix—guilty as charged amirite?

Step Three: Mustard Madness
Alright, next up is mustard. Just grab a tablespoon of that yellow goodness and throw it into your yogurt bowl like you mean it! This isn’t just any mustard; this is the mustard that will give your mayo character. Mix it up so no one knows there’s yogurt hiding under there!

Step Four: Lemon Juice Squeeze
Now comes the fun part! You need about two teaspoons of lemon juice. If you have fresh lemons, squeeze them like you’re mad at them for being so sour all the time! But if are using bottled stuff because you live life on the edge…that works too. Just plop two teaspoons in there!

Step Five: Salt n’ Pepper BFFs
And now for some seasoning magic! Throw in a pinch of salt and pepper like you’re throwing confetti at a party—cause this is a flavor party now! Mix everything together real good until it’s all blended together into creamy deliciousness.

Step Six: Tasting Time
Okay now comes my favorite part—taste testing! Grab a spoon and dip it in to see if it needs more lemony zing or maybe another sprinkle of salt? Go ahead, be honest with yourself! Don’t forget to scrape the spoon clean because that garlic bread is waiting for its new bestie!

Step Seven: Storage Skills
Congrats Chef Mayo Genius! Now find an airtight container because this masterpiece needs to chill in the fridge —and let me tell ya—you might wanna keep this hidden from other people unless you want them eating all your concoction while saying “Oh wow this is soooo good.”

Why do they always do that? Like suddenly everybody loves what you made after 20 minutes of effort… But back to business—store it away!
