Reviews
Hi … I like this recipe. However, I am on a Keto program and must leave out the bread. Would anyone like to suggest a substitute? My first thought is steamed cauliflower into the blender in place of the bread. Any better ideas?
It is in the high 90s here and will be all week. I needed something cool and simple to get through the next few days. This super simple recipe comes together in about 15 minutes and is perfect. My only change was that I used homemade garlic croutons that I had on hand rather than the plain French bread called for in the recipe. I blended it for three minutes so it is smooth but did not strain it, because I like the texture it has now. I can eat it as is or maybe with a bit of grilled shrimp or chicken. Muy delicioso y tan sencillo.
My first experience with Food Network was watching David’s show Taste when it was on the air. It is still my favorite show ever on the network and I wish they would bring it back.
