Chef’s Tips & Variations
- For Added Crunch: Sprinkle some toasted seeds (like pumpkin or sunflower) or a few chopped walnuts on top for extra texture and healthy fats.
- Herbaceous Boost: Chop some fresh dill, chives, or cilantro and sprinkle over the top for an aromatic twist.
- Spicy Kick: A dash of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce can add a pleasant heat.
- Vegetable Variety: Feel free to add other quick-prep vegetables like cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, or bell pepper strips for more color and nutrients.
- Lemon Zest: A tiny bit of lemon zest grated over the top can brighten all the flavors.
