we love this dressing. It has become my basic goto dressing for many things(like deviled eggs, vegetable salad (think potato salad) using daikon radish, or cauliflower, chopped cucumber salad and so on.
At lunch when I was using it with our salad, Isaw that I have about one more salads worth of this batch and what should pop up, but this salad dressing. I'll be making more tomorrow.

I have made this sauce many times. I usually double or triple the batch (depending on the size of the jar of mayonnaise I have. This has become my goto sauce for many applications- egg, daikon, cauliflower, or tuna salads or simply as a sandwich spread. - It is awesome with crackers & cheese as well. It is so easy to make and so versatile in usage I know I have left out several. This is my creamy sauce for dressings (like with cucumbers). Endless possibilities.
