Notes

This is the most basic version.  Add carrots if you like, or green onions.  Even some dill if you want to freshen it up a bit.
I can't actually tell you how much mayo to use.  That's all about the taste.  Start with a quarter cup and add until you get it the right creaminess.  To make it extra special, add some homemade mayo for that extra zing and goodness!
