I love picnics! I make an italian style potato salad with no mayo. It's boiled red potatoes (cut up after cooking), fresh green beans (steam first and cut up), and red onion. I also add those little tiny red tomatoes, cut in half if too big. The dressing is a regular vinegarette: olive oil, red wine vinegar or cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt/pepper, and dried oregano. Put the dressing on everything while the potatoes are still hot. I usually chill it for a while, but you can eat it right away.
People like it. It holds up for a while. It can be served cold or at room temp. |
You gals are making me hungry. Like the idea of no mayo.

These all sound delicious. I will have to try some of these.

Here's an easy one even though it is past when you needed.
2 can Bush's Baked Beans 1/2 large onion cut up 5 slices pre-cooked bacon cut up in pieces 1/4 cup brown sugar or less depending on how sweet you like. Mix together - bake at 350 degrees until onions are a little tender, about 50 minutes or less. Done. |
Thanks for your request, sure are some good looking recipes shared by others. Thanks again.

I haven't tried this yet but Rachael Ray says that vegan mayo taste great and you don't have to worry about it spoiling. That alone is a good reason to try it. I'll never give up my Kraft Salad Dressing but sometimes you need something like this.
