The title says it all! Updating 8/3/07-- I made this again and added 2 scallions, some yellow peppers and a tbsp of creole seasoning. It was a great addition to the original recipe.

I used this recipe to stuff some baby portabella mushrooms with and it worked really really well. Lots of compliments with this one and its super easy. I omited the caviar and didn't use any pea shoots. Will make again, and again. Thank you!

Very, Very good and so easy to make, I used Best Foods Mayonnaise, worked fine. I didn't use the caviar as we don't care for it. Served it with sauted snow peas. DH like the leftover for lunch cold. Thank you Chia for another delicious recipe.
