Very good. The fresh dill makes a huge difference. Great way t use up less than sterling caviar.

OMG, had this at my Aunt's and it was incredible! Such a great combo of elegant, but yummy and you can stretch the caviar to make enough so it isn't too $$$. I'm making it for a dinner party this weekend with Tim's potato chips...divine! Thanks for posting!

I enjoyed this, as did my kids, until the 7 year old found out what caviar is. :/ I wasn't able to find the salmon roe so I used whitfish caviar...it was good but ugly...the black caviar made the spread a really ugly color...I'm sure pink would have been nicer and next time I will hunt down the salmon roe for this. All in all very nice and I'll make it again...easy to put together too...I didn't use a mixer...just bought whipped cream cheese and softened a little in the microwave and then just mixed with a spoon...thanks for posting.
