It’s official. I like mayonnaise.
On one hand, I feel liberated, a food snob weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Yet, on the other hand, I feel betrayed; misled by my taste buds.
You see, I don’t actually like mayonnaise.
Nope.
Thick fat-resembling, not nearly as good as sour cream substances aren’t my thing.
Not me.
So of course I don’t like wasabi mayonnaise. Right??
Wrong.
I freaking loved it! Declared it must be a weekly event and proceeded to spread it on all things spreadable.
Stopped short of licking the entirely coated knife after smearing it all over the best ever black bean burger (recipe coming soon!)
But I still don’t like mayonnaise.
Just embellished half-yogurt-half-mayonnaise sauces.
Happy Wednesday!

wasabi mayonnaise
Prep Time: 5 mins
Slightly adapted from bon appetit magazine
Ingredients (1/2 cup)
- 1/4 c. plain low-fat yogurt
- 1/4 c. mayonnaise
- 2 tsp wasabi paste
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp minced ginger
Instructions
Combine everything in a bowl, stir until wasabi is thoroughly mixed in.
Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors come together.
Lasts up to 2 weeks in fridge, doubt it will last that long.
I don’t love mayo but I dig this half and half recipe. Plus I’ve been loving wasabi lately- I plowed through a whole sleeve of wasabi rice cakes in a day and half, I just love the kick! And you take stunning photographs seriously!
Thank you! That means a lot, I must say your photos often inspire me. I ate about a cup of wasabi edamame and couldn’t go back for a while but I could drink this mayo-yogurt sauce.
Not gonna lie… I despise mayo! But have a secret affinity for aioli’s. I guess I can stand the stuff when it’s flavored with something and mixed with a good amount of yogurt, like you did here. I do love wasabi so I am sure this recipe is a champion.
Aioli’s were my slippery slope into mayo-liking. Though I could never ever put mayo straight on a sandwich, gross, I could douse it in pretty much any aioli.

Plain mayo isn’t my thing, but flavored mayos are! I love that you used wasabi to give this a little extra kick! Yum!
