Mayonaise Based Salads

I like mustard potato salad from the local store. :shrug:

Macaroni salad, not so much. They also have an AWESOME deviled egg salad, though.

I guess it depends on the stuff. I don't really care much for mayo itself though.
 
I have to make one on average 4 out of 5 days I work. Sometimes upwards of 3 mayo based salads a day.

You know what old folks go ga ga over? Shredded carrots, raisins and mayo salad.

I like them well enough as a whole, but just enough mayo to bind.
 
To add something real gross to the conversation, we make a jello, where you add mayo, sour cream and cottage cheese to lime jello, then let it set. messedup0
 
I love me some mayo-based tuna salad, egg salad, macaroni salad, potato salad, and chicken salad.
Pasta salad, OTOH, should contain no mayo.
Likewise, there should be no mayo on a hot dog or hamburger.
However, it is compulsory on a BLT (though merely the thinnest layer is required).
And Grave Bomber, that shit you're talking about sounds like something my grandparents used to make. Nasty!

I'm thinking that too.

I grew up hating mayo, but it turns out what I was hating was Miracle Whip and a crappy store brand mayo. (not that all store brand is crappy. This was just crappy AND store brand.)

I'm still not a huge fan of store bought mayo, but mixed in to a recipe like in a salad, it doesn't much matter to me.

Now, as a condiment, I much prefer fresh made mayo - right out of the mixing bowl and on to the sammich fresh. And that's much better for you if you use good ingredients.

I HATE sour cream. HATE it. Cook with it, fine. But mix it into a salad or dip and I can taste it - almost every time. It makes me gag.
 
I can enjoy a very thin layer of mayo on a sandwich or burger - but it has to be a very small amount. Like a dime sized dollop. Any thing more than that is too much.

Also, for your consideration, the grossest shit ever; Waldorf Salad:

waldorf-salad-1-550.jpg


  • 1/2 cup chopped, slightly toasted walnuts
  • 1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup red seedless grapes, sliced (or a 1/4 cup of raisins)
  • 1 sweet apple, cored and chopped
  • 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Lettuce

That sounds awesome.
I don't think I ever had it. I've heard the term before, but never looked into what it actually is.
