  1. Great idea! The salt is not needed. A dash of onion powder will add a hint of flavor without overpowering the integrity of the dish. A good substitute for flavoring would be lime, instead of lemon. Finely diced tomatoes would also be a delicious addition.

  2. It would be nice to have a ‘print’ button on here…
