Hi All--
Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for a
substitute for mayonnaise for things like tuna salad
and chicken salad. Many of you suggested using yogurt
or sour cream and adding spices (not specified); some
suggested Vegenaise (which I did finally find in the
refrigerated section of my health food store). I've
pasted specific recipes/suggestions below. I think
they're all wonderful! Hope some are helpful for those
who requested a summary - and even for those of you
who might some day want a change.
_____________________________
I like Whole Foods mayonnaise (also known as Fresh
Fields)I also make my own mayonnaise using olive oil.
Put one egg in the blender, add 1/3 teaspoon salt and
1 tablespoon vinegar. Blend lightly. Then trickle in
slowly, once cup of olive oil. Within seconds you
will have mayonnaise.
I have been using this for years and it is much
healthier than hydrogenated oils. Some people are
concerned about the raw egg. I do know that
salt, vinegar and olive oil all have preservative
qualities, but I leave that up to you.

Many people on this list react to Hellman's. Check
the archives for discussion on it. During Passover I
buy Season's Mayo. I usually get a few jars and use
them through out the year. I'm sure the ingredients
are not as good for you as Veganaise.

Miracle Whip REGULAR is GF in case you want to use
that instead of a "substitute".

I have been using Vegenaise for several years and find
it to be a satisfying substitute for Mayonnaise. Buy
only the Vegenaise made with grapeseed oil.
They make a product using another kind of oil that
won't work for us with CD. You will find Vegenaise
in the cooler of a health food store. The two kinds of
Vegenaise jars are always side by side in the cooler,
so be sure you get the grapeseed one. I can't
remember what the other oil is, but something in the
ingredients of that product are suspect for us.
Sorry, I can't recall the problem. But there is no
problem with the product I have mentioned, Vegenaise
made with grapeseed oil.

two suggestion....either go to a health food stores
and check out the mayo with APPLE CIDER VINEGAR or try
Miracle whip. I suspect you may be sensitive to
either or both .white vinegar and canola oil. A lot
of us are.
____________________________
I use Nutrimax's Mayonnaise. I had a hard time
finding anything corn-free; I think I got this from
Miss Robens. My health food store doesn't carry it;
but probably others do.
It's good; the ingredients -- soy oil, apple vinegar,
liquid yolk, honey, water, sea salt, lemon juice,
onions, pimento, bay leaf, white pepper, celery,
parsley & cayenne. (it's dairy free & gf -- marked on
the label).
____________________________
The egg and oil are pretty important in a mayo recipe,
but the seasonings are pretty optional. Just leave out
the seasonings that disagree with you. A little salt,
a little black pepper (if you want it) and you're good
to go. If you want, you could add some things like
paprika or lemon juice to experiment with, but I bet
the basic recipe might be all you need. Egg & oil is
the foundation.

Thanks, again, for all of the terrific suggestions!
