I made this dip mainly for making DH's wraps that he takes for his lunch. We use a bread substitute for the wrap, so I was looking for something flavorful and zippy. This mayo dip really fit the bill. It is flavorful and robust. I loved the tarragon!! Thanks, Miss Dana for sharing your recipe. I hope you are feeling well ;-)

This was a great dip. I can see as you said that the flavors would compliment many things. I served it as with some leftover stuffed (and fried) black olives that I had brought home from Happy Hour last night. Mmmm. Perfect breakfast for me. LOL Thanks for posting.

I used the spicer variation recipe with the hot pepper sauce and it makes a flavourful and zippy dip.

A very good dip. Goes very well as a dip for artichoke!

Bekah, we really liked this ALOT!!! The flavors blend subtly together. Even those who insist they don't care for tarragon would probably like this because it is so subtle. We used it as a dip for our artichokes, but one could thin it a bit (or not) and use it as a dressing. We love spicy, but felt this was perfect as it was. I learned something new. You can buy tomato paste in a tube. I was so tired of wasting tomato paste. No more! It is Atkins friendly and gluten-free, too. Love it! Thank you! ;)
