Mayo Alternatives?

Hi. I just realized I'm not supposed to be eating eggs for the time being, and I've been downing mayo. Duh. Anyway, what do folks who don't eat may put on their sanwiches for moisture/grease. Any ideas?

(humus sounds good, avocado smushed up sound good...what else????)

p.s. I know there are eggless mayo's, but I also don't eat soy or partially hydroginated anything, etc. Maybe there's an olive oil eggless mayo out there.

add plenty of veggies, and you don't need anything else! (tomatoes, in particular)

but some other options besides the two you've got (which are the best, IMHO):

butter (ah... the french can be so crazy with their sandwhiches... I don't get it, but they love it)

mustard

a bit of olive oil :-)

cheese (if you're doing dairy)

Like tarnalberry says fresh tomatoes, cucumber etc. health wise and you can add fresh basil etc. or cilantro.

If you want a bit of oil then just soak basil and garlic in olive oil in a little pot and keep it in the fridge, you can top it up ... Im currently trying to loose a few pounds so its off for me right now but its really nice and you can make your own mixes by adding a little of most fresh herbs and just pound em with a mortar and pestle first...

I found this online. Maybe one of the craftier cooks can tell you what would be the best sub for the soy milk. Rice milk? I don't really know. Sounds yummy, though. I totally pick hommus too or Italian dressing. Yum!

Title: EGGLESS MAYO ("BETTER 'N HELLMAN'S")

Categories: Vegetarian

Yield: 1 servings

1 c Edensoy (Original)

2 2/3 c Oil

2 tb Cider Vinegar

1 tb Maple Syrup (or sugar)

1 ts Salt

--------------------------------NOW TRY THIS--------------------------------

Directions: Place soy milk in food processor (or blender). Put on lowest

setting. Drizzle oil into soy milk. Add other ingredients. I add about

the same amount of lemon juice in addition to the vinegar. Someatimes I add

one tablespoon of dry mustard. You've got to try adding basil and/or sage

and/or oregeno.

I've also never had a problem adding all the vinegar, syrup, salt, etc. to

the soy milk first and then adding the oil.

I just eat it dry or add a tad mustard

Ijust boughtsome Nayonaise at the health food store. It was on sale, so I decided to try it for tuna salad. It's not bad. Don't look at it, though. It doesn't look too great.

Tapenade is good on sandwhiches too. You can buy it or make it in the food processor. I've made it before with olives, olive oil, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, and parsley. I jus made it up, but I'm sure you could find a recipe.

I have never liked mayo. Most of the time, I ate sandwiches dry, but depending on the filling, a slice of tomato is good. My mil has always spread a thin layer of butter on both slices of bread before making a sandwich. Cranberry sauce on a turkey sandwich is also delicious.

I think I've only tried almond mayonnaise but I don't remember. Cashews blend up smoother but I haven't tried them in mayonnaise. For the instant mayo I'm sure you could substitute another milk powder.

Instant Mayonnaise

1 c water (purified or distilled

1/2 c soy milk powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 to 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

*2 Tbsp instant clear jel

Optional Ingredients:

1 to 2 Tbsp oil

dash or two homemade curry powder

(1 Tbsp each of tumeric, cumin, coriander, garlic powder)

Dill Weed, onion and garlic powder

WHIZ all ingredients in blender, adding Clear Gel last. Blend until smooth. Store in refrigerator 1 1/2 - 2 weeks. Purified water is bacteria-free; therefore the mayonnaise will keep fresh longer. YIELD: 1 1/2 cups Calories: 10/Tbsp. *Instant Clear Gel is a precooked cornstarch product available from bakery wholesalers. It is great for making instant jams and pie fillings with fruit juices and for thickening salad dressings without oil.

Cashew Mayonnaise

1 1/4 c boiling water

3/4 c raw cashews

1 Tbsp honey

1 tsp salt

3 to 4 Tbsp Lemon Juice

WHIZ in blender until creamy-smooth all ingredients except lemon juice. Briefly whiz lemon juice in last NOTE: Adding boiling water cooks cashews somewhat, giving them more thickening properties, so fewer cashews can be used and the mayonnaise does not separate. Calories: 16 per Tbsp. YIELD: 2 cups mayonnaise.

Cashew Mayonnaise

1/2 c cashew nuts

1 3/4 c water

2 Tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot)

2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp onion powder

2 Tbsp lemon juice

3 Tbsp honey

1 Tbsp orange juice conc.

1. Blend all ingredients together for about 2 minutes.

2. Place blended mix in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a wire whip.

3. Remove from heat and cool before serving.

Hint: Pour boiling hot Mayonnaise into a hot, sterilized jar and screw on a sealing lid. Let is cool and check seal--a handy way to preserve for traveling. A little jam jar is just right!

Makes 2 cups. Calories per Tbsp/ 11

Almond Mayonnaise

2 c water

1/2 c blanched almonds*

3 1/2 Tbsp Instant Clear Jel

1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp garlic powder

Process water and almonds in a blender until very smooth. Strain and save liquid (use pulp in patties or waffles, etc.). Process liquid and remaining ingredients until thickened. Add dill or tumeric, to taste, if desired. Yields 2 cups or 32 servings

*boil raw almonds in water for 1 minute. Drain and cool, then pinch off skins.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts.

We use Nayonaisse in this house, also. We've also used Vegenaise in the past.

edited to add:

nayonaise IS soy based, however, vegenaise just has soy protein (if you can tolerate the protein solely). This is from the vegenaise website for you:

Does Vegenaise® contain any common allergens?

Vegenaise® is free of eggs, milk products, wheat, gluten, corn, yeast, and starch. Soy protein is a relatively low order ingredient in the product. Tolerance to allergens vary considerably. To be safe, people with sensitivity to soy should consult their physician regarding the advisability of testing this product.

I am not necessarily alleric to soy, I just don't think it's good for you. I used to eat Nayonaise, but quit when I quit soy.

Frankly, I'm contemplating quitting tuna (too much mercury) and quitting bread (why bother)...so I wouldn't even need mayo anyway.

I'm contemplating the paleolithic diet. Anyone been doing this?

If you continue you can easily end up quitting everything ?

However I try not to eat gluten-free breads because they are too easy and so its easy to rely/fallback.

I think tuna is something to just not rely on ... its something I eat infrequently ..

I think a big problem with being gluten-free is we tend to find our own little safe foods and concentrate on them, like you say with soy. I still eat some soy .. just not often maybe once a month ...so stuff like Nayonaise is a trap because you increases the frequency of soy without thinking.

You can add arsenic in almonds etc. and it keeps going until you are left with nothing so I prefer a little of most things than always reducing what I can eat and then ending up eating more of something else.

everything in moderation, seriously (except for untolerated foods: gluten and in most cases, like mine, dairy). if we listened to everything the world put out about foods, we wouldn't eat anything. anything is bad in excess.

Lauren M Explorer

Amen, lorka! I get so confused with "this is good for you, no wait it's bad for you.... but only if you eat it on the fourth day of months ending in 'y'..." I think moderation is a good word!

I know, I know. I'm just frustrated because before I asked for the celiac test, I felt pretty good, save for the itching and canker sores. I had defeated the terrible C that had plagued me my entire life (by quitting wheat), and most of the bloating, and felt great. Now that I've quit spelt and oatmeal and all the little things that sneak in the gluten, I just don't feel as well. I'm having tummy aches and the C is back with a vengeance.

I'm getting a food panel done this week so if there are any other no no's for sure, I'll find out about them. I'm just frustrated as can be, and feel like food is my enemy, which is not healthy, I'm quite sure. I know it will all balance itself out, but right now, I'm just defeated about it.

Thanks, all.

Baba ganouj has a very luscious mouthfeel similar to mayo & is much healthier. I used to love it with falafel & taboulli in pita sandwiches... haven't tried it on regular (gluten-free) bread but why not?

It makes a great dip too for tortilla chips.

I'm getting hungry for it now!

I think salad dressings work well on sandwiches (or just olive oil and balsamic)

I also really like raw cashews in a blender with dill, itailian herbs, salt lemon and water. It makes a good spread, dip or dressing.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
