    Super delicious! I omitted the mint, added more lemon zest than recommended, and fresh grated parmaesan cheese and garnished with parsley, really really good!

    This was yummy and easy. I did not have any mint, so used oregano--still delicious. I would have liked more lemon, but only had one in the house. Still a great side. :
