This is the best substitute for mayo I've ever had/made and a yummy sauce. It has a pungent flavor (apple cider vinegar has a bite) which I really liked, but I did mix it with mayo (as suggested) for the potato salad. I also used the optional black pepper which gave it a nice kick, but I would omit it or use less if spicy isn't your thing. Thanks for posting this Beachgirl!

I grew up on this dressing for both potato & macaroni salad. It beats jarred mayo dressings all to pieces. I used this recipe for macaroni salad for this Christmas. *It's best to save a little dressing in a container until after the salad has chilled because the macaroni really absorbs it. Mix & then add more into the salad so it's not dry. Love, love it as potato salad as well. Merry Christmas folks!
