Notes
Substitutions for this recipe:
- If you don't like sun dried tomatoes, olive or artichokes, you can omit them and just sub in more of one of the other ingredients.
- Basil - You can sub the 1/4 cup fresh basil for 1/2 tablespoon dried basil. It won't be nearly as flavorful! I highly recommend getting the fresh herbs. You can even add in some fresh parsley for more flavor
- Cheese - If you're not doing a Whole30 or following a strict paleo diet this is delicious with some parmesan cheese on top!
