make your own or maybe use butter instead?  I think butter would give that rich mouth feel to replace mayo.  Greek yogurt is going to be tangy and watery and will change the sandwich experience.

Butter us the only condiment DH will eat on a sandwich.  It's a Brit thing.  I asked MIL to throw together a PBJ for DD once and I caught her putting butter on UNDERNEATH the PB.  I wasn't so sure about how that would taste, but butter goes well with most lunch meats and (of course) cheese.

that's funny... I hate butter on bread with cheese or meat or soups of any sort, but I love toast with butter and peanutbutter.

My dad would sometime butter the bread before making us PB&Js.

My dad would always do that.  I can't remember him making any kind of sandwich without buttering the bread first.  I never thought about it as a British thing, but there's probably something to that.  We also had to have bread and butter on the dinner table every night.  Seems weird now.

You could pasteurize your egg before you make mayo.  I probably wouldn't bother because I'm not overly concerned (I generally eat more cookie dough than gets made into cookies!) but if raw egg squicks you out this might be worth a try:

That's why I won't make my own.  I'm not going to pasteurize the eggs.  And I've just always told myself that the eggs in the store bought mayo are pastureized, whiich is how I can eat it.

My family puts butter on jam sandwiches, too.  I grew up doing that.

I've eaten butter and jam on toast, so seems logical.  We also eat cream cheese and jelly.

so the plain greek w/a bit of mustard is ok on a sandy.  Can barely taste the yogurt at all.

You can buy past. eggs for making your own mayo; i guess my risk tolerance is just different because I also let my kiddos eat cookie/cake batter with raw eggs

I'm too nervous.  It would be better if I weren't.

Whatever they do to sterilize eggs in this country, it must be pretty effective.  I've eaten a lot of raw and undercooked eggs.  A whole lot.  As far as I know, there have been zero ill effects.
