I have a recipe for pasta salad that asks for mayonaise. I really hate mayonaise so is there something I can replace it with? Or, can I just make the recipe without it?

Some sort of salad dressing may work nicely.
-
What kind of recipe is it? You might try yogurt or sour cream...
-
Just omit the mayo. It would turn out fine.
-
Sour cream would replace it perfectly, as would some vegetable oil (use a little less). Yogurt will change the flavor but may work depending on the recipe. Crème fraîche is a fantastic replacement, but it is hard to find in most places. Also, may I suggest making your own mayonaise? I can give you a recipe, and you may find it quite a bit more enjoyable.
-
Try using plain yogurt, a bit of lemon juice, and a dash of vinegar, and maybe a bit of celery seed. Also salt to taste.
-
Or you can try olive oil. That always makes for a good pasta salad.
-
I would use an oil and vinegar or Italian-type dressing, either from a bottle or home-made.
-
If you really hate mayonaise, I would not put it in --you can replace the mayo with whatever you feel would make it appetizing to you... Bon appetite
-
I use sour cream in place of mayo in all my recipes. It tastes great and usually works just fine.
-
Do an Italian dressing like salad. THis is great if you grill your potatoes and they are still a little warm. The spices in the dressing just soak in and really flavors the spuds.
-
You just need some kind of oil product in it. It will keep the pasta separated and infuse flavour into it...That is really all the mayonaise is doing...so just substitute your favourite salad dressing or just flavour some oil and vinegar.
-
pasta needs to be kept moist somehow ... so pick a different sauce of some sort and just switch it for the mayo.
