Mayo is a very popular condiment. Aside from the classic tuna and egg salads made with mayo, many people include it in every sandwich. The fact that it is also parve means even we kosher keepers can include it at every meal and there some people that do.
On Passover, regular mayo which is often made with canola oil is not available and instead the Passover versions don’t quite compare. On a holiday when every ingredient matters, it is best to try something with a little more pizazz. Avocado is always a good all natural choice, but you still have to mash it up and some flavor. For something even more like mayo, try Babaganoush.
Sabra Babagnoush is made with mayo and is made kosher for Passover without losing any of it’s great taste and texture. The roasted eggplant even displaces some of the fat compared to pure mayo, so that is a bonus.
Here are 5 Recipe ideas where babganoush will bring out the best flavor.
1. Egg Salad

Thanks for the ideas!
I have been using Babaganoush instead of mayo on turkey sandwiches for years. I like the extra spiciness of it. Babaganoush also adds some fiber and veggies to the meat. For Pasach I will use it on Matzoh Meal rolls.
I love the idea of substituting babaganoush for mayo. I usually just serve it as a spread on matza or a dip for raw vegetables. Now I’ll definitely rethink how I use it!
I will definitely use this idea for tuna salad. I hate the idea of mayo w/ cottonseed oil.
I was looking for some interesting cold recipes for Shabbat/Passover lunch. The salads above will definitely be eaten this weekend! Thanks for the inspiration!
