  1. I’ve just made this for our lunch, I added a teaspoon of Italian seasoning, Greek oregano would be the same to me. I did not use bottled dressing, I simply poured about 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil and a few teaspoons of red wine vinegar, then tossed, it’s delicious and light. We served that with left over ribs, taken off the bone and heated, and a fresh sliced apple.

    1. Becky – Thanks for sharing your alterations! This is my husbands favorite freezer meal (and late night snack) lately!
