Reviews
I just watched this episode, and Ree says 2 TABLESPOONS red wine vinegar, not 2 teaspoons. Anyone know which is correct?
Very tasty
L:OOOOOVE it! added basil!
So very good!!!!
My mom introduced me to this, I would eat it everyday if I could.
OMG…delicious!!! And so healthy. A PERFECT summer side dish.
Sooooooo Gooooooood! Another winner! Thanks Ree!
Made this several times and the flavors are great, but do not put them in the refrigerator to marinate.
I just made these and they are terrific. Had them with hard bread on the side as a light dinner. So, so delicious. Thank you for sharing Miss Ree.
