Cherie Trippy
This is a delicious and simple to put together recipe! It can be adjusted by adding other simple ingredients. I added a tsp of Worcestershire sauce and a 1/2 cup of sliced green onions when I didn't have chives...Once I didn't have quite enough mayo and added greek yogurt to the mix. I keep it in a 1 1/2 pt. wide mouth jar in 'frig. Yummy!
