This versatile salad dressing was inspired by a cookbook recipe I found, while a new bride 55 years ago. Keeping a kosher home I tried to make a dressing that was “Pareve”, that is, containing no dairy or meat products. This is the result. It can be used as a dip for crudités, chicken salad and/or macaroni salad.

  • 2 Cups mayonnaise
