In all fairness, the mayonnaise salad my mom makes has more than mayonnaise, it also has nine cloves of crushed garlic. Yes, nine. If it weren't for the head of chopped lettuce I might never have believed it was a salad.
I wish I had the recipe on hand, my mother follows recipes to the T, and the dotted I. Because of that my mother's meals are perfection even if the Mayonnaise salad has, as I believe, an entire quart of mayonnaise in it.
Here is what I remember about the salad… IT WAS DELICIOUS.
First, use a large mixing bowl
Add a truckload (a jar) of real mayonnaise with nine cloves of crushed garlic, mix well.
Then add five or so cups of day-old bread, chop it into bite-size pieces without the crust.
Mix it thoroughly then cover it and put it in the fridge overnight.
Before serving the salad add: One head of chopped lettuce, two sliced avocados, and grilled shrimp if you like, my mom didn't because my sister in law is allergic to shrimp. Mix well but gently, and serve.
Avocados, bread, salad, garlic, and mayonnaise doesn't that just tickle your toes?
If I missed something maybe my Mom will correct me in the comment section.
