About

Tuna, egg, and chicken salad sandwiches account for a major portion of the American consumption of mayonnaise. By using a mixture of yogurt and reduced-fat mayo, the fat usually lurking in these sandwiches can be cut back tremendously. We’ve added plenty of vegetables for crunch, too. Chicken salad can be made the same way, adding celery if you like.
