A tablespoon of dry sherry or dry vermouth and a pinch of chili powder will jazz it up a bit. I also find that adding the mayo and processing it all together improves the texture.

To Marilyn, try horseradish. You can also cut back on the mayo and add cottage cheese.

I just made this... it's a nice texture but very mildly flavored. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to jazz it up a bit, I would appreciate it. I'm hesitant to mix in any herbs, etc. due to the smoke flavor and I don't want to go all southwestern on it. Thanks in advance.
