sspayne Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hi all - I made some mayo on Sunday and now I'm a little baffled about what to do with it! I made a delicious chicken salad that I think will be an amazing combo of fat and protein. What are some other awesome ways to use the mayo? (I don't usually eat mayo.)

snoodess Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Last night I added a little extra lemon juice and chives to homemade mayo and stirred a couple tablespoons into roasted spaghetti squash. So perfect for a creamy starchy craving. I also like to season it with different things and spoon on tuna/salmon cakes, beef/chicken burgers, or just to dip cut veggies into.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted October 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2014 I love roasted sweet potatoes dipped in mayo . Or you can thin it a bit with a little vinegar and add some herbs for a creamy salad dressing. (Or here's a ranch dressing recipe.) Use it to make something like this baked fish almondine (use ghee instead of butter). Deviled eggs/egg salad. Tuna salad. Make coleslaw. Sometimes, if I need to add fat to a meal, I just put a dollop of mayo on the plate, and dip my meat and veggies in it -- it goes well with pretty much everything.

Charlsye Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I like to mix mine with Frank's Hot Sauce for a Creamy Buffalo dip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaitlinI Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I put a dollop of it right on a side salad with dinner tonight, after putting some olive oil and red wine vinegar. It was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaSarah Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I like to mix mine with Frank's Hot Sauce for a Creamy Buffalo dip! Take that and add to spaghetti squash, chicken, and veggies of choice (I use carrots, onions and tomato). So good... paleomg.com 's buffalo chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted October 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 30, 2014 Well Fed 2 has a bunch of great dressings and sauces you can make from your plain mayo base. I highly recommend! She may have a few of them posted on her website, theclothesmakethegirl.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caiceangel Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 My favorite thing to do with extra mayo is to make Compliant Sweet Potato Salad. Ingredients: 2 1/2 pounds – white sweet potatoes3/4 cup – homemade mayo1 tablespoon – mustard1 clove garlic – fine chopped2 shallots - small dice 3 tablespoons - fine chopped cornichons or dill pickle relish Splash of pickle juiceSalt and Pepper to taste Directions: Cut up potatoes into bite sized pieces. Place potatoes into a large pot. Cover with cold water and place over medium heat. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat and remove lid. Gently simmer until potatoes are fork tender. Drain and place into an ice bath to cool.In a large mixing bowl, combine mayo, mustard, garlic, shallots, cornichons, and pickle juice. Once evenly combined, add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Let the salad chill in the refrigerator overnight for best results.
