“So simple yet full of flavor. To be fair, I did add a roll of pork sausage and tons of kale for a hearty bowl of yum. Will definitely keep this in rotation.” — a cook, 5.0★
“Very flavorful! I used baby spinach and added a 1/2 cup of heavy cream. I served it with homemade pita, some of your hummus, and a chopped Greek salad.” — a cook, 5.0★
