I add a few tablespoons of thousand island salad dressing to the mayo, and it seems to give it a bit more flavor. Also, it think it makes the mayo a little easier to mix.

I have used this recipe for years, and although I'm not a great cook, it's an appetizer I can always count on. It's delicious, and my friends always rave about it.

I, too, lost my recipe for this spread and even tried to make it this morning from memory before I took the time to look at Zaar. It's also great to use as stuffing for a celery stick appetizer. Thanks!! This is an update my previous review to add the rating!

Yummy and a fave! The original recipe from Heloise had 8 oz cream cheese.

I've been making this recipe for years. I make it exactly as described, and eveyone loves it. My daughter likes to take a small container of it (with crackers in a separate container) in her school lunch.
