-tsp. dried basil

Source: Some women's day or good housekeeping from 12 years ago-an ad from
starkist tuna and hellmans mayo.

Yield: 8 cups

In a large bowl, combine first 6 ingredients. Stir in remaining
ingredients. Cover, chill.

Note: I always add the mayo last so that it is not overwhelming and I can
add to taste.
