I just finished a tomato sandwich on whole wheat (made in my bread machine), and some cauliflower which I steamed and cooled, then mixed with some mayo and salt and pepper. Kind of like potato salad but better.
I've been researching mayonnaise. It pretty much meets my criteria of "food" in that it doesn't have a laundry list of unrecognizeable ingredients (I eat Duke's mayo.) Sure, it's mostly fat, but very little saturated fat, and many vegetables are absorbed better when accompanied by fat. The low-fat/non-fat mayos? They have a bunch of extra non-food additives in them. I've thought about making my own -- my grandmother used to -- but the egg safety issue around here holds me back, and I'm too lazy to go through the process of "pastuerizing" them myself. So I'll continue to eat my regular Duke's while keeping track of how many calories it adds to the meal. Anybody have thoughts on the mayo issue?
