Ingredient Information

Mayonnaise, Reduced Fat

The amount of fat varies pretty widely between the non-fat and regular mayonnaise having up to 10 – 11 grams of fat per tablespoon.

Reduced-fat mayonnaises are great for making salads, and there are a number of choices available to you. Blue Plate Low Fat mayonnaise has great flavor, with only 2 grams of fat and 25 calories per tablespoon. Hellman’s Light (known as Best Foods in the Western U.S.) mayonnaise is quite good also at 15 calories.

Non-fat mayonnaise for dressings simply aren’t creamy enough.

Light mayonnaise or reduced-fat mayonnaise usually has about 5 grams of fat per tablespoon. I generally keep this around for making sandwiches.
