So good! I decided to use farro instead and substituted the salt for some miso paste. OMG!! So good!

This is so flavorful my meat-eating friends loved it. I used super sweet grilled corn, and dill as I had no cilantro. This will be even better when fresh summer tomatoes are in season. Definitely in my favorites list.

This was so tasty. Followed the recipe exactly. It was almost like a pico de gallo. Served it over greens. Excellent!

Easy ingredients, fairly quick, and delicious.
I served it over mixed greens and added seasoning and herbs: a little fresh chopped cilantro and basil and some granular garlic/onion power and black pepper.

This is the 2nd recipe I’ve made from your site & it did not disappoint! Not to mention my 2nd day that I gave up meat products. I ran out of quinoa so I used brown rice over a bed of greens. All the flavors combined make this recipe truly delicious! Thank you for helping this transition feel so easy!
