  • Homemade mayonnaise is worth the effort here — it tastes better and is better for you. Check out our recipes for making it from scratch. You can also swap in sour cream or plain yogurt as the dressing, either on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in whatever ratio you like — that will lighten up the dish.
  • Oils are only healthy up to a point — their smoke point, where the oil starts to burn and form harmful compounds. For how to pick the right frying temperature and the best oil for the job, see our guide.
