So add all ingredients except shallot and vinegar...

Pretty inedible as written- add mayo as others suggest.

I made with yogurt and scallions, using the white and a bit of pale green. I also used a pinch of sugar to tone down the acid. The color was great and it was nice on fresh herby greens.

subbed just mayo and it was...pretty good
