I added Kalamata olives. I especially love the cumin. This will be a summer staple. Super easy and tasty!
I made this alongside Trader Joe's flat bread, gyro meat, and tzaziki, and it was a great fresh side to an otherwise quick and dirty meal. Love it! Will definitely make again. The cumin really adds something wonderful.
Left out dill since there was none - and it was still pretty darned great. I used org heirloom cherry tomatoes - larger ones cut in quarters
Simple and delicious.
Easy and delicious. One can never go wrong with a Pierre Franey recipe.
