Mayonnaise

An RGB Mayo Menu:

Krissy started the theme selection off strong with "Mayonnaise" for our first challenge theme. I decided to go the route of cooking an entire three course menu, each compontent somehow containing mayo. Normally I don't like the stuff. It's gloppy and fatty and causes a certain gag reflex. However, I tried to step it up and the result was quite tasty - my dinner guest guinea pigs would agree with empty plates and 2 thumbs up.

To amp up the flair, I organized each course into the classic RGB color palette. Its pretty fun to play with your food, even when its mayonnaise.

Green Course:
Green Goddess Salad with peas, edamame, asparagus, chives
Pine Nut Pesto Spaghetti with chicken and toasted pine nuts
Use of Mayo - dressing and pesto

Grandma's Potato Salad with Russian dressing, green olives, roasted red pepper, smoked salmon, scallions tomato
