Storage and Tips
Diet Yogurt Mayonnaise
Storage
My recommendation is to consume the mayonnaise immediately, or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight glass jar for up to two days.
Tips
Plain Greek yogurt is a perfect substitute for oil to make this sauce, making it very light, perfect for those who want to eat light but without sacrificing taste.
To enjoy it better, it would be advisable to keep it in the fridge for a few hours before using it.
