I'm talking about stuff like Tuna Salad, Egg Salad, Macaroni Salad, Potato Salad, etc.

What is your stance? Are you pro-mayo based salad or anti?


I hate them. Vile, disgusting concoctions, all of them. It boggles my mind that anybody could enjoy eating them.
 
They aren't my favorites

That said, if I go to a picnic/bbq/pot luck and that's all there is for a side dish, I'll have some.

I much prefer my potato salad to be sour cream-based. Aside from a good aioli, I don't have much use for mayonnaise.

I've also made some pretty good tuna salad with sour cream. The secret is to use just enough to stick everything together, and add some dill.
 
Mayonaise is great in a salad. Of course it raises the question of what's the point of having a nice healthy salad then smothering it mayo. As long at's free range egg and olive oil based though, I don't see a problem.

I mentioned this in the Euro thread already but I went to Brussels last week and the most amazing chips ever. Belgium is know for it's chips but this was ridiculous, they were amazing. You could have them with mayo and I bet it was amazing mayo but I had a pepper sauce, which was amazing.


It was amazing :embarrassed:
 
It has to be really good potato salad for me to enjoy it if it's mayo based, obviously I'd prefer sour cream. I make a mean tuna salad that has a little mayo and a little sour cream, it's fantastic. I hate the mayo-based pasta salads, the ones that are sweet are even more repulsive. Pasta salads should be oil-based only, with plenty of veggies and pepperoni. Egg salad I find increasingly gross as I get older.
 
I like macaroni and potato salad. :shrug:

I'm a fan of mayo, though I don't eat it much anymore.

Growing up, one of my favorite things to eat was potted meat product and Miracle Whip on white bread. :embarrassed: Haven't had one of those in probably 10 years, though. :embarrassed:

I just mouth-puked a little bit thinking about sweet mayo salads.

Agreed re: pasta salad. Give me some nice pasta, veggies, olives, salami, cheese, etc. in an oil/vinegar dressing. Delicious. BUT NO MAYO!!!
