Really good! I made more sauce than the recipe called for because that’s my preference, and I added cherry tomatoes. It’s very versatile and can easily be adapted to what you like. I would definitely make this again.
We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Love the addition of the cherry tomatoes too 😀
Oh my gosh! This was so delicious.its going to be my new go to for summer. I added peas, whole black olives and some ranch. Family loved it 😊
Good basic salad. Added a dollop of Dijon, also used some good ranch dressing to equal a cup with mayo.
We’re so glad you enjoyed!! 🙂 Love the addition of dijon!
Does anyone have a good substitute for whole milk for a family that is highly lactose intolerant?
Hello, I did send you a quick email so I hope that you received it. We manage a dairy allergy in our home and have no issues using Oatly full fat for this recipe. 🙂
