Hmm this has been my experience as well. I wonder what I’m doing wrong!

I love watermelon and feta but I find that you need to eat it immediately. It's not a salad that sits well. The watermelon can't be too ripe. It does better with the crisp watermelon if that makes sense.

German potato salad.

It’s not a judgement it’s a health concern.

Most people aren’t eating globs of mayonnaise on a daily basis. Fourth of July is a holiday. People want to eat special food because it’s a special occasion. You do not have to eat it if you’re concerned about your health.

I think perhaps PP meant health concern interns of mayo sitting out for hours at a time. It doesn’t really concern me, we keep the food indoors and on ice, and most people eat right when we arrive (dinner time).

I don’t eat mayo, so I’m no expert. But I see bottles of mayonnaise out on tables in restaurants all the time. Not sealed mayo packets, but big half empty bottles of Hellman’s which appear to have been out all day. I don’t think anyone is switching them for refrigerated ones at the local dive diner.

What gives? Why is ok for that mayo to stay out all day, but not potato salad made with it? My personal theory is that grocery store mayo is perfectly fine and potato salad made with it won’t go bad as quickly as people think. All the preservatives prevent the bacteria from growing. Just like homemade whipped cream goes bad far before the commercial stuff does.

Stop with the watermelon mint and feta. Yuck. Sounds like vomit waiting to happen. Pretentious idiots.

Troll.

Btw, I loved the watermelon + mint idea and the creamed corn sounds amazing!

Good point, didn’t think of that. Most of the parties I attend or host, the food is inside and put in the fridge in an appropriate amount of time. But yeah mayonnaise outside in hot weather could be gross for sure.

In Europe Mayo is not refrigerated in restaurants. It isn’t as dangerous as you seem to believe.

People on this forum think food is bad if it sits out for 10 minutes

The heat, Sally. The concern is these nasty sides sitting out in the heat.

Corn dip
BBQ pork sliders
Pigs in a blanket

Nothing. Who still wants to celebrate this disgusting country?

Bean salad: 1 can black eyed peas, 1 can navy beans, 1 green pepper small dice, 1/2 pint or more cherry tomatoes diced, 1 shallot diced, minced garlic or garlic powder, salt, apple cider vinegar and neutral oil for dressing. Best if made the night before and refrigerated. We eat a ton of this every summer. You can add black beans too but then need to up the veg to balance.
