According to NetGrocer, Miracle Whip Free contains:

WATER, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, VINEGAR, SUGAR, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, SOYBEAN OIL*, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF SALT, CELLULOSE GEL, EGG YOLKS*, CITRIC ACID, CREAM*, ARTIFICIAL COLOR, LACTIC ACID, WITH POTASSIUM SORBATE AND CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA AS PRESERVATIVES, XANTHAN GUM, MUSTARD FLOUR, CELLULOSE GUM, SPICE, PAPRIKA, L-CYSTEINE, YELLOW 6, PHYLLOQUINONE (VITAMIN K1), NATURAL FLAVOR, BETA CAROTENE, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, BLUE 1 (*TRIVIAL SOURCE OF FAT AND CHOLESTEROL).

I would be careful because of the high-fructose corn syrup, soybean oil, egg yolks, and cream.

Hellmann's Low-Fat Mayonnaise Dressing is better. Its ingredients are:

WATER, CORN SYRUP, SOYBEAN OIL, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, EGG WHITES, VINEGAR, SALT, MALTODEXTRIN, GUMS (CELLULOSE GEL AND GUM, XANTHAN, CARRAGEENAN), NATURAL FLAVORS, COLOR ADDED, MUSTARD FLOUR, SODIUM BENZOATE AND CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA (USED TO PROTECT QUALITY).

It does, however, have 1 gram of fat (from the soybean oil) per serving.

Kraft Fat Free Mayo contains:

WATER, SUGAR, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, NATURAL FLAVOR (CONTAINS EGG*), VINEGAR, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF SALT, CELLULOSE GEL, XANTHAN GUM, ARTIFICIAL COLOR, DRIED CREAM*, WITH POTASSIUM SORBATE AND CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA AS PRESERVATIVES, LACTIC ACID, PHOSPHORIC ACID, VITAMIN E ACETATE, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE, YELLOW 6 PHYLLOQUINONE (VITAMIN K1), BLUE 1. (*TRIVIAL SOURCE OF FAT AND CHOLESTEROL).

Again, I would be careful because of the egg, high-fructose corn syrup, and cream. However, this is the mayonnaise Heather said she uses.

Finally, there are the flat-out mayonnaise substitutes, available at healthy food stores. I've heard that Nayonnaise tastes terrible, so I've never tried it, but that Vegannaise is good. However, I don't know how much fat it has, and I can't find the ingredients online. Has anyone had any
experience with Vegannaise (or Nayonnaise, for that matter)?

Finally, a local restaurant makes their own soy mayonnaise (from tofu, I presume), and it's actually quite good. Has anyone done this? Care to post a tried-and-true recipe? Thanks.
