Ingredients

• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (fat-free or low-fat)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt. Make sure to choose fat-free or low-fat options to keep your sauce heart-healthy.

Step 2

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking the yogurt. This will help create a creamy, emulsified consistency similar to classic mayonnaise.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice to the mixture. The acid in the lemon juice not only adds flavor but also helps to emulsify the ingredients even further.

Step 4

Stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. These ingredients will add depth and enhance the flavor of your mayo sauce.

Step 5

Continue to whisk the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary—adding a little more lemon juice for tang or salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the mayo sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Enjoy your heart-healthy mayo sauce as a spread, dip, or dressing with your favorite dishes.
