What To Make With What’s On Sale: Mayonnaise

It’s time for What To Make With What’s On Sale!  Memorial Day is almost here, and that means sale prices on condiments!  If you didn’t get any $1.49 Kraft mayonnaise at Safeway last week, there are more good sales on mayo this week.  Safeway has Hellmann’s or Best Foods mayo for $1.77 (after coupon), and King Soopers has the same for $1.99 after coupon.

Mayonnaise is a popular spread for sandwiches; it’s the base for lots of chilled salads, and it’s even included as an ingredient in some baked goods.  Here are six recipes that use mayonnaise!

This Fresh Broccoli Salad is a classic dish for a picnic or potluck.  Try tweaking it to suit your tastes — halved grapes instead of raisins, or sunflower seeds in place of almonds.  Be sure to let it chill overnight so the flavors can meld!

Here’s a super simple recipe, Honey Mustard Dressing, that’s perfect for green salads, as a glaze for grilled chicken or fish, or as a dip for chicken fingers.

This colorful Cornbread Salad is another dish that’s always a hit at summer get-togethers.  It’s a great complement to grilled burgers!

And if you want to add a special kick to those burgers, try Bobby Flay’s 5-star Chipotle Mayonnaise!

Chicken salad is another yummy way to use mayonnaise — The Pioneer Woman has a delicious Chicken Salad recipe, and of course you can play around with the ingredients according to your preferences!
