“I made this to take to a concert in the park. Along with the ingredients listed I also added peperoncini’s and Kalamata olives and created a bowl on top of some rice. It traveled perfectly and was delicious even though it was warm. This recipe is a keeper!” — a cook, 5.0★
“I made this tonight and the meat was delicious! Added banana peppers and olives, plus some feta on top. I felt the dressing was a little flat, so added ½ tsp of cumin, ⅛ tsp of cayenne and a tbs of red wine vinegar with a splash of olive oil! Delicious!!” — a cook, 5.0★
