[Recipe] Healthy mayonnaise Substitute

Since most mayonnaise is made of egg yolk, many people worry when they eat it.

Here's a recipe of healthy mayonnaise using soy milk and olive oil.

Soy milk has less calories and less fat. It contains soy protein, more omega-3, no cholesterol.
25mg of soy protein a day with low fat and cholesterol diet is suggested to reduce the risk of heart disease.
As many people know, olive oil is good source of monounsaturated fatty acids.
