"I brought this to a Mother's Day picnic, and served it with sliced, toasted mini-bagels. Personally, I think it tastes *better* than store-bought. I improvised a little, because I did not have any dill seed. Instead I added about 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh dill weed. I also added a teeny tiny bit of green onion (just the white part of one skinny little onion). I think any more would have overpowered the herbs. Don't omit the caraway seed-it adds a mysterious and subtle flavor to the dish."
