Egg-Free Mayonnaise GF SCD

Since making my Coleslaw a few weeks ago, I developed the mayonnaise recipe further and I used this one for my Waldorf Salad. We have been making it regularly since we think it works wonderfully as a real mayonnaise alternative.

Waldorf Salad GF SCD - An Anti-Prostate Cancer Dish

I've always loved Waldorf Salad but my usual take on it is nothing like the one prepared today at The Waldorf Astoria.

It is the only edible fruit of the orchid family, the largest family of flowering plants on earth. The vanilla orchid, vanilla planifolia, grows wild on the edges of tropical forests and can grow over 100 feet.
