Easy to make and it tasted good, but not out of this world. I followed ingredients and measurements exactly, but subbed chopped onion for the green onion. I think I would use more mushrooms and dill next time, also add some chopped red pepper maybe. (I added a tiny bit for a garnish this time and I liked the flavor.) DH said it was good.
