Comments
I have tried it but the pepper wasn't so well done and I was wondering if it would be good to use the normal green pepper? Any suggestions?
I don't see any pepper although I would imagine sure why not add in some green pepper, will still taste great.
I love this but I have to admit, I tweak it to my own taste. I omit the mayonnaise and use plain Greek yogurt and honey instead. I also omit the salt and pepper.
Greek yogurt sounds like a great alternative. I bet that the taste was amazing! Happy Cooking :)
