You can but you'll need to drain the small amount of watery fluid caused from the mayo after it's thawed and add a little fresh mayo to remoisture and reflavor.

Mayo seperates in a big mushy mess.

I've never tried freezing salads containing mayonnaise. I don't know how it will look when it's thawed as the mayo may separate and the celery may go soggy or mushy.

Yes, if it hasn't already been frozen and thawed. Refreezing can cause botulism. (09/27/2007)

RE: Freezing Chicken Salad

I have heard never to freeze anything with mayo in it. I don't know what happens when you do. Something might separate while thawing. I don't think I would do it.
