Here’s why I think no-mayo potato salad is superior to the original:

1. The obvious reason, no mayo. Ugh, warm mayo from a jar is so gross. I don’t mind a good freshly made aioli, but mayo in a jar makes me want to hide under my desk.
2. It’s way healthier.
3. Herbs are good for you. Again, healthy!
4. Herbs are delicious.
5. You can leave out at a picnic or BBQ longer because there is no gross mayo in it.
6. Cooled starches (e.g. potatoes and rice) contain resistant starch. When the starch in these foods are heated then cooled, some of the starch turns resistant to absorption in your digestive system (how cool is that!). So, cooked then cooled potatoes are actually lower in absorbable carbs than hot potatoes. This would technically be true about all potato salad, but see number 1 about why this version is better.
