Recipe: My Cheating Sauce

2/3 cup best-quality store-bought mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
1-1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon, basil, chives, flat-leaf parsley or chervil (or a mixture of two or more)
1 to 2 tablespoons canned or homemade chicken broth, as needed

In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard (if desired), herbs, salt and pepper. Whisk in the chicken broth a teaspoon at a time until the sauce achieves an agreeable drizzling consistency. Taste for seasoning and drizzle over poultry, fish or vegetables, or pass in a bowl at the table.
