Don't have enough mayonnaise in the refrigerator for a recipe you're working on right now? Don't fret. Check out these easy substitutions that you probably have on hand!

If you don't have mayonnaise, substitute 1 cup with:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 cup cottage cheese, pureed in a blender or small food processor
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise + 1/2 cup yogurt or sour cream
Or go the homemade route:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
Whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, and salt using a whisk or in a food processor. While whisking or with the machine running, blend in olive oil or vegetable oil in a thin steady stream until mixture is blended and thick. Makes about 1 cup.
