this was the best dip i've ever had! i didn't add red peppers only because i forgot to buy them at the store- but it didn't really even need them. it sounded like a lot of ingredients and a lot of work but it was actually so easy i'm going to make again and again. i served it with sliced up baguette that i baked. so good!

Any ideas why it would say to not use regular mayonnaise? I don't use mayonnaise of any kind, so I always make my own when a recipe calls for it.

What is light mayonnaise dressing? Is it just light mayonnaise?
