substituting crem fraiche for mayo

[Guest guest]

In NT, deviled eggs have crem fraiche instead of mayo like most other

recipes. Can cf be substituted for mayo in general? I want to make

the Creole Remoulade Sauce on pg 314 of the Whole Foods cookbook,

which calls for 1 cup of mayo, but I'd rather substitute cf as a

healthier alternative if it would work.

The other ingredients are onion, scallions, fresh parsley and taragon,

capers, dill pickles, lemon juice, salt, hot sauce, and dijon mustard.

Any thoughts?

The other thing I should add is that I'm going to use this as a dip

for the Athenian Chicken Roll-Ups on page 234, which are chicken

breasts stuffed with Italian Herb vinaigrette, olive oil, onion,

garlic, oregano, spinach, feta cheese, breadc rumbs, lemon juice,

dill, lemon pepper, and optional white wine.

Any thoughts on whether craim fraiche would go any less with these

tastes than mayo?

It should taste great. But why do you think it would be any healthier

than than homemade mayo made with macadamia nut oil? And either one as

a substitute for traditional mayo is going to be more expensive.
