Light Mayonnaise

Light Mayonnaise is a creamy, emulsified condiment commonly used in sandwiches, salads and dips; it originated as a variation of classic mayonnaise and is sold as a lower‑fat option for the same culinary uses. Nutritionally it still contains mainly fat — about 22.2g per 100g — but compared with full‑fat mayonnaise it typically has fewer calories and less saturated fat, while providing small amounts of vitamin K and some omega‑3 fat. As a commercial reduced‑fat product, it is an ultra‑processed convenience option that offers little fiber or protein, so it’s best used sparingly or swapped into recipes where a lighter binder or spread is needed.
