I am opposed to using a store bought mayonnaise because of the sodium and potassium. But have found a good recipe online without salt and tastes good!
Hello, store bought mayonnaise doesn’t contain a high amount of potassium based on a review from the Canadian Nutrient File; 15mL or 1 tablespoon of mayo contains 5mg potassium, and 97mg sodium. It is good to limit condiment portions due to sodium content. The immune system is suppressed in kidney disease, therefore if you make your own mayo, be cautious of raw egg yolk.
