Reviews
My husband and I really enjoyed this dish! I made ours without Made the octopus. Recipe is simple to follow. I added chopped red peppers and used plum tomatoes. I will be making this a lot over the summer!
Made without octopus (not a fan of this sea creature). In any event, it’s easy, refreshing and absolutely delicious!!!!! Five stars, all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
