Simply substitute the regular mayonnaise with your favorite brand of egg-free or vegan mayonnaise. The rest of the recipe remains the same.
Increase the number of green chillies to 2-3, or add a pinch of red chilli powder or a few drops of hot sauce to the blend for an extra kick.
For a lighter, tangier version, replace half of the mayonnaise with thick Greek yogurt or hung curd. This will also reduce the calorie count.
If you're not a fan of garlic, you can omit it entirely. The dip will still be delicious and refreshing.
Mint is well-known for its digestive properties. It can help soothe the stomach, relieve indigestion, and promote healthy digestion, making this dip a flavorful way to support your gut.
Both mint and coriander leaves are packed with antioxidants, which help protect your body's cells from damage caused by free radicals. These herbs also provide small amounts of essential vitamins and minerals.
One serving of Mint Mayo (approximately 1/4 cup) contains around 350-400 calories, primarily from the mayonnaise. To reduce the calorie count, you can use light mayonnaise or the yogurt variation.
Mint Mayo is best enjoyed in moderation as it is high in fat and calories due to the mayonnaise base. However, the fresh mint and coriander add beneficial antioxidants and digestive properties. Using a yogurt-based or light mayo can make it a healthier option.
Yes, absolutely. To make vegan Mint Mayo, simply use an egg-free, plant-based mayonnaise. All other ingredients in the recipe are already vegan.
You can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. The color may darken slightly over time, but it will still be safe to eat.
Bitterness can occur for a few reasons: using the thick stems of the mint leaves, over-blending the herbs, or using mint that is not fresh. Always use only fresh leaves and blend just until a smooth paste is formed.
It is not recommended. The fresh, vibrant flavor and bright green color of this dip come from fresh mint leaves. Dried mint will result in a completely different, and likely less appealing, taste and appearance.
