- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional additions:
- Fresh chopped dill or parsley for extra herby goodness

Notes
How to Store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best eaten within 3 to 4 days. The flavors develop more over time, but be sure to stir before each serving to mix in any separated liquid.
