Reviews
Veggie, Meaty, Baby- This recipe is already in the dinner rotation and loved by all! Meaty makes his without cucumber (he is anti-cucumber). Veggie makes hers with black olives instead of kalamata olives. Baby eats what we give him when we serve this meal, every time! It's a homerun and full of everything good!
