There are numerous variations that come to my mind, here are my top five!
- My Italian Variation: Chop and add 1/3 cup of sun dried tomatoes
- Summer Mood: Add 1/2 cup of blanched baby spinach, drain well before adding!
- Spicy Mood: Add 1/3 cup chopped red bell peppers and 1 teaspoon of Ostro Organics Habanero Chili Oil
- Garlic-moi: Sometime I have the urge for some extra garlic – saute an extra two teaspoons of freshly minced garlic in some poppy oil and add to the mixture
- If you happen to have some extra guacamole or half an avocado, add and indulge right away!
