Maybe so. Must not affect the color much because it's not yellow.

No fried chicken and no chicken boullion.


Try their egg salad too. It's almost as good as mine and better than I've had anywhere since Joe D's closed in the mid 80's. They just recently started pushing it. The pimento cheese is good as well.

If you can find Swanson it's as close as you'll get. I see it on occasion and buy a few then won't see it for a long time.

I don't think it's made anymore. I tried to order it, but it's always out and it's not on the list of products.

Love it, can make a pretty close copy using the food processor.

Never freeze anything with mayo in it, it will separate.

I have frozen things with mayo and it's never separated. There are other ingredients aside from the mayo if that makes a difference.

Not to say you don't know your stuff, you always do, but since mayo is an emulsion I don't see how it can be hard frozen without separating. Unless there is some commercial stabilizer holding it together. I haven't checked lately, but mayo jars used to say "Do Not Freeze".

I make these little canapes with shrimp in mayo and dill and some other flavors. I freeze and bake them all the time.

I make these other cocktail apps with cream cheese and mayo as the base. I freeze those as well with no problem, but I think the cream cheese has something to do with that success.

Can't think of anything else I've frozen with mayo off the top of my head.

Martini, I was also a fan of the Swanson Chicken Salad Seasoning. Can't find it anymore....
Try the HEB grocery chicken salad seasoning. It is very close, I'm not sure I can tell a difference between the two.
The HEB seasoning is in a foil pouch (just like Swansons was) and usually located on the aisle with canned tuna.
Best part, 50 cents a package!

I know a repeat, but... as advised here.... I used some Ranch dressing mix (and a whole packet is waaaay too damn much, btw) long with food processing onions, garlic, celery, with Blue Plate mayo and it was same texture... and pretty darn close to the taste...

yea, some chicken too.

and.....Yea, I gotta food processor just to attempt this..

Good luck!
