It was good but next time I might add some celery seed to boost the flavor a bit.

Definitely must try this. My family loves everything in this, and I’ve had something similar before. Don’t be afraid to try something new. If you like the basic ingredients, there’s a good chance you will really like it. And it’s good for you!
