Mayonnaise Dip with Surprise Ingredient

One day, I decided to make a tuna pasta salad. However, my goal was to cut the fishy smell so that my husband could stomach it. So I figured, why not make a super tasty mayonnaise-based sauce/dip to put into the salad and make it super tasty.

I have made several dips in the past, so I had a good foundation for how to make a good and tasty dip using mayonnaise. So it was just a matter of trial and error until I made a very tasty dip. And there’s a surprise ingredient too – pureed sweet potato! I had leftover baby food in my pantry, and I decided it would be a good alternative to yogurt or sour cream, ingredients I typically use with mayonnaise to make a dip. And I knew having the sweetness of the sweet potato and the saltiness from the tuna would really complement each other. So here’s my original recipe for Mayonnaise Dip with Surprise Ingredient!

This mayonnaise dip is excellent with cut up vegetables, or it can be used as a sauce for a pasta salad, like my Tuna Pasta Salad.
