Of course like all recipes you can substitute some of the ingredients to your preference. If you like some heat, add some chopped jalapenos to the mix with a dash of cayenne pepper. If you like more of a crunch throw some chopped celery or shredded carrots. My hubs hates onions….but that’s great add to pack a punch of flavor.
Add something refreshing to your life and let me know what you think!
