I love mayonnaise as much as (alright, alright…perhaps more) than the next guy. But if such philosophical killjoys as Aristotle, Rousseau, Tacitus, and Cicero are to be believed, perhaps it’s a good idea to put down the mayo spoon and step away from the jar from time to time.
Here’s 20 delicious recipes for making no mayo gourmet salads; perfect for anyone looking for a way to lower their fat intake, cut down on the use of eggs, or for those who want to see if their temperance bone still works.
(Where’s the temperance bone you ask? The temperance bone is connected to the backbone, of course!)

Great idea! I have to admit I’m kind of pro-mayo, but not every day! Thanks for including my pinto bean salad.

These salads look beautiful. I, like Kalyn, am quite the mayo lover. I see no need to exercise temperance where mayo is concerned. Egg yolks are fantastically nutrient dense, and if you’re using a good quality oil, the fat is actually really good for you!
Thanks for sharing this in today’s Fight Back Friday carnival.

I actually prefer salads with vinegars. So many possibilities with rice vinegar, seasoned vinegars, balsamic vinegars, etc. Spoilage isn’t as much of a concern. Can spare the calories too.

Great list. Only problem is I want to make them all!
