I wanted to like this, but thought it was more than blah. I checked the recipe, assuming I had missed something, but no. I had a friend try it and she also did not care for it. I ended up adding more mayo, mustard, garlic powder, salt and red wine vinegar just so I didn't waste what I had already made.
