It has potential. As is – it was too much salt between the 1TBS added at cooking, then olives, feta, dressing, and additional salt after all that – I added some red wine vinegar after the fact which helped but next time I would not add any salt for cooking and maybe just a little after it’s cooked. Also – I would add 2 C of tomatoes to freshen it up a bit.
Great tips – I find that when I use coarse, flaky salt, the 1 TBSP is good but a finer salt might make it too salty. Thanks for the feedback!
