Both can be healthy, it all depends upon what is used to make them. Vinaigrette is "more" healthy, because it doesn't have the egg in it. But if you use olive oil, or other low chloresterol oil, then it can be just as good as a non- or low-fat alternative. I love making my own, homemade mayo. It really is NOT that difficult, and it is just SOOOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS! If you try it, you'll never go back to store-bought again!

Be glad to share the recipe... it's from "Joy of Cooking" by Irma Rombauer... In a blender, or food processor (with blade): Add: 1/4 cup oil (veggie, olive, canola, whatever your preference is) 1 egg 1 tsp dry mustard 1 tsp salt dash pepper 1 tsp sugar Give the blender a few pulses to blend well. Remove blender cover (or food processor "chute") and add 1/2 cup oil, while it is blending, and drizzle it slowly into mixture. Then add 3 tbsp lemon juice, one at a time, and pulse-blending between. Then start blending again, adding another 1/2 cup oil, again, drizzling as you add. Blend until thick, not much more than another 30 seconds or so. Empty into container, and let stand on counter AT ROOM TEMPERATURE for 2 hours. (Yes, this sounds like the wrong thing to do, but it's a matter of allowing the acids in the lemon juice to kill the bacteria!) Then place in refrigerator. Will last up to 4 weeks. Yield: 2-3 cups mayo. ENJOY!
