Notes
If this is feeling a bit bland to you, add some hot pepper flakes. Delish!
For some extra texture, toasted walnuts go a long way for the garnish on this one.
Again, if something is boring about this - check your salt. I found I had to add almost a full teaspoon before it was right for me. I just like to start low in my recipes because everyone has different taste!
