Great recipe!!! I didn’t have a cucumber so I improvised and added fresh blueberries as garnish with some crumbled feta chees and chopped basil! Delish!!!
I love this recipe. I added fresh red and yellow pepper to garnish and topped with Greek yogurt (sometimes goat cheese) and citrus sea salt! Awesome!!!! It is so versatile!
