Low-Sodium Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is a delicious and simple addition to many dishes, and this healthy version is great to have on hand. Surprisingly, prepared mayonnaise and classic homemade versions contain between 110 mg and 160 mg of sodium per tablespoon, which can be significant when you are watching your diet. This low-sodium recipe allows you to maintain healthy sodium levels in dishes that combine mayonnaise with other ingredients.
