Steps:
- Soften cream cheese in the microwave. It should almost be liquidated.
- Put everything except mayonnaise into a large mixing bowl.
- Add mayonnaise and fold together until it reaches the consistency you like. Taste for seasoning, adjust as needed.
- Notes: I didn't include salt in the ingredients. I tasted it and it didn't need any, but you can add salt to taste. You can use half mayonnaise and half sour cream or Greek yogurt in place of all mayonnaise. This adds tang. If you like things a bit spicy, add some ground cayenne powder or 1-2 minced jalapeño peppers (seeds optional). Be prepared to add more mayonnaise every 2-3 days as it will absorb into the cheese and seem dry.
