- Add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise (adjust to your preference).
- Stir in 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery seeds.
- Add 2 finely chopped scallions (white and green parts).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
