Mayo gets a bad rap, but it’s not all bad news. To help guide you the next time you’re making creamy sauces, dressings and dips, or simply spreading onto a sandwich, Molly shares her top picks and worst mayo bets in this week’s Love It, Like It, Hate It!

Note // Greek yogurt can be used in place of mayo in creamy dips, sauces and dressings. Molly’s preference is full-fat (4%) or lowfat (2%) Greek, but not fat-free Greek yogurt.
