Caviar Dip

Submitted by gailanng

"Uses inexpensive black caviar sold in glass jars at most markets. Don't use the good stuff because it will be overwhelmed by the other ingredients. From "Fast Appetizers" by Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison. Note: Caviar should not be eaten with a metal spoon because metal oxidizes the eggs and gives them a off taste. The most common serving spoon is mother-of-pearl."
