    Is this a yuck? or a medical thing?

    Either way. Just skip the egg salad... Or use miracle whip(yuck)

    Have you tried Just Mayo? It's gluten free (animal product free, too!) & I like the taste of it :)

    it's a medical thing. allergic to yeast, and gluten intolerant.

    You could make your own mayo - http://dish.allrecipes.com/making-mayonnaise/

    This recipe has no vinegar added.

    I often use laughing cow cream cheese wedges instead of mayo in my egg salad, but I don't know if it has any of the ingredients you need to avoid. It might be worth checking out.

    The vegan mayo in the post above is good. You can also substitute mashed, ripe avocado and a little lemon juice for mayo. The flavor isn't the same but it gives you the creamy texture and the fat in avocado is good for you. Just keep it within your calories for the day.

    I like to use avocado in place of mayo in egg salad, I usually also add relish and spicy mustard but I've done it without and it's still pretty good, albeit bland. Wasabi is a great idea though!

    I've used a Laughing Cow cheese wedge to mix with my egg for an egg salad sandwich before. It wasn't too bad. I've thought about trying it with sour cream, but not sure how that would turn out.

    Could you try mixing with tahini or hummus? Not the same flavor but not bland either.
