I made this on Tuesday night and it was outstanding! I did switch the 2 tbsps. of light mayo for 2 tbsps. of Hellman’s low fat mayo and it cut the calories to 279 and the fat to 6.9. Enjoyed this recipe so much! Thank you!!
Thanks for the feedback Herberto. I always suggest using healthy fats. Not sure of the ingredients list for the mayo you used but low fat anything usually has something “fake” to make it taste better. You could try making your own mayo with an egg and extra virgin olive oil.
