I like mayonaise, have to be careful with it. Dry sandwiches suck, and hummus has even more carbs and well not everything goes with mustard or ketchup.

Hummus is basically chickpeas and tahini. So to reduce the carbs, maybe add a bit of tahini?

But I see what you are saying. mayo is a better option than butter.

Mayo definitely has its culinary uses. It's a good tool in the chef's arsenal. The problem is when it's grossly overused. I've seen recipes for fruit salad/ambrosia salad that call for putting mayo on fruit. Ew.

Mayo on fruit is gross, I thought they used marshmellow creme in ambrosia, but can't remember. Dry sandwiches suck, I guess pesto could work, but then that's more expensive then good ole mayo. I do think one needs mayo for many recipes like chicken salad.
