Could you use Plain Greek Yogurt instead of mayo?
Christina Hitchcock says
I have not tried it, but I don’t see why not. It might affect the flavor slightly. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out.

This Chick Fil A Sauce is fantastic and in my opinion tastes better than the fast food version. We used it to dip French and zucchini fries in it. Practically licked the bowl!

We love this sauce. It is great on everything. Perfect for chicken but great with cold cut sandwiches too. I could eat it all by itself.
