Ingredients

2 prts low-fat plain yogurt with one part mayon

Preparation

Peanut butter combines well with: honey sliced bananas grated carrots raisins applesauce bacon bits cream cheese jam/jelly toasted wheat germ cut up dates or any combination of the above

Tuna Fish and Mayonnaise combine with: pickle relish sliced cucumbers sunflower seeds sprouts sliced avocado grated carrot chopped celery sliced egg

Note: Mayonnaise in a sandwich does not hold up well without refrigeration, and could cause poisoning. It turns rancid upon prolonged exposure to heat.

Avoid using it for summer camp lunches, or if your child's lunch will be sitting on a radiator in school all morning. Mayonnaise usually does not freeze well. If the amount you are using in your sandwich is small, however, you should have no trouble keeping sandwiches mixed with mayonnaise in the freezer. This also holds true for egg salad that is well mashed.

Hint: Reduce the fat content of added mayonnaise by combining

Cream Cheese Combines well with: bacon bits crushed pineapple chpped nuts luncheon meats peanut butter sliced egg sliced cucumber marmalade or jam raisins, whole or ground
