Mayonnaise Dips--any good "recipes"?

[julirama723]

Since my favorite dill dip and most ranch dressing (that I've found) contains HFCS or other junk, I was wondering if you had any creative and tasty "recipes" for mayonnaise--meaning, what do you add to plain old mayo to make it a great dip or sauce?

How about some sour cream with fresh or dried dill or other spices?

[julirama723]

Well, I'm hoping to avoid sour cream because it's fresh dairy. I'm looking for an everyday kind of thing, and I don't want to be eating fresh dairy every day! That's why mayo is such a good option, it's pure fat!

Thanks! The lemon-mayo and sundried tomato dips sound good. I'll be steering clear of the others because they contain Worcestireshire, which has HFCS.

Mayo plus
1. a chopped chipotle pepper and some lime juice
2. lemon juice (really simple, but the lemon juice gives it enough zing to compliment chicken, pork chops, fish, etc.)
3. a bit of ketchup---tastes sorta like Russian dressing.
4. a bit of ketchup, grated onion, and chopped dill pickle---tastes sorta like thousand island dressing
5. Dijon mustard and a little sweetener---tastes like a "honey mustard" thing.
6. toasted sesame oil, grated gingerroot and a bit of rice vinegar
7. sriracha sauce (that's a type of Thai red hot pepper sauce)
8. horseradish

The mayo-chipotle pepper is my fav---I like spicy food!

Bursts out laughing, well it might help if i get the letters in the right order, thanks Megs!

Yeah i can see why you might want to steer clear lol

Thanks ladies! I'm writing those down. I like that they're very simple...almost too simple...I feel like a dolt for not thinking of them on my own. But I'm a "plain foods" kind of girl most of the time.
