Oh my goodness Beth, really?

I don't even use mayo.

I stir it in sour cream, sometimes I add chopped fresh cilantro and eat it with Tostitos Gold Chips.
 
I just used the Moroccan in the One Pot Pasta tonight (in the pasta and on some chicken that I cooked and cut up to add). mmm.... yummy!! It's a unique flavor, and I think having something that people can sample with it will increase your sales of it.
