CILANTRO MAYONNAISE - SOUTH BEACH DIET

Cilantro Mayonnaise - South Beach Diet image

From the South Beach Diet book. You can use this as a dip or salad dressing. It's great on lettuce wraps, and as a condiment for chicken or fish. Very good with salmon. It's also very fast and easy to prepare. NOTE to you South Beach Dieters - this is right out of the book. You can use reduced fat, but not fat-free mayo. Fat-free has too much sugar.
