The word "salad" originally just referred to any dish of small, bite-sized foods tossed together and served at room temperature. Macaroni salad in America was originally used by delis as a way to advertise the freshness of their ingredients, since it would be more noticeable if their pasta was stale or their vegetables were sour at room temperature than if they were cooked.

People think mayonnaise is some uniquely alien substance, but the only difference between mayonnaise and a vinaigrette is the egg used in mayonnaise to emulsify it. Mayonnaise = oil + acid + egg. Vinaigrette = oil + acid. They're basically the same thing.

It's not pure mayo, it's a mayo based dressing. It's cool and refreshing. I enjoy it.

We have a similiar thing in germany/central europe.
We call it "noodle salad" though, no idea why americans only know macaroni for every dish.
There are variants with mayo, but i prefer it with a vinagrette type dressing.
Also, there is something called swiss sausage salad, which works in a similiar fashion, and guess what, it is absolutely fantastic.

I'm gonna begrudgingly let the americans have this one.

We don't, OP is just being a fag and probably lying. There are tons of different kinds of pasta salad in the US. Macaroni is popular because macaroni and cheese is popular as a comfort food, so you can find it in literally any grocery store, whereas you might be hard pressed to find some of the more obscure pasta noodles if you live in the hinterland or something.

Can't say I'm a big fan of Wurstsalat, I've noticed when buying Brötchen with whatever meat in Germany it often has mayo on it too. I still love Mettbrötchen though.
