Mini Jibaritos: What Can Be Used Instead of Mayo?

[K_Jurich]

Thanks to my Beautiful Newsletter provided by Miss Joy, Tasty Tidbits. One of my customers has a question about the mini jibaritos. I have never made them but she said that she doesn't like mayo so is there something else she can use? Anyone got an answer for this one?

 

[jbachen]

I haven't made them, either, but what about ranch dressing or sour cream, maybe?

 

[K_Jurich]

Thats what I was thinking too.

My director doesn't like Mayo, and she always just subs Sour Cream.

Sorry to come in late to this thread guys! June is national Beef Steak month, so I chose the Mini Jibaritos recipe to highlight the steak.

If you watch Top Chef on Bravo, it almost sounds like some of those appetizers they made on the first Puerto Rico show...
