This was excellent!! For those who are wondering like I was, this recipe is delicious using light mayonnaise and substituting dried parsley, dill and chives - though I’m sure fresh herbs would have been even better. <br />It’s nice knowing the ingredients that go into the salad dressing- and no preservatives. <br />I will make it again!
