FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Regular yogurt is thinner and less creamy, so the mayo won’t be as thick and rich. For best results, use Greek yogurt to achieve the classic mayo texture.
Is this mayo suitable for vegans?
This recipe uses dairy-based Greek yogurt, so it is not vegan. However, you could experiment with plant-based yogurt alternatives, keeping in mind the flavor and texture may vary.
