Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 In general, I find that creamy dairy subsititutes well for mayo. I use a mixture of creme fraiche, sour cream, yogurt, double cream, and sometimes I stir in a little oil- if you get your creamy dairy to below 70deg you can stir in melted coconut oil. Sometimes I use half mayo. Usually one has to adjust the seasoning as Jane mentioned. The flavors may not be in perfect harmony (Mediterranean wraps with feta don't immediately go with a creamy sauce) but it will be yummy- I've made many sour cream remoulades.

It turns out that I'm going to substitute Fage (fah-ghe) Greek yogurt (imported from Athens, distinguished from regular yogurt by having its whey strained, #1-selling yogurt in Greece, by far highest fat content I've ever seen in a yogurt) for the mayo. These are chicken wraps, by the way -- not chicken wrapped in something else, but the spinach, cheese, etc, is wrapped in the chicken.
