This came out extremely salty. I followed the recipe. Could not eat it was so salty.
Trisha says
I cant say that I have had that feedback before, but you may be really sensitive to foods with salt. The great thing is that you do not have to add additional salt or seasoning to this dish for it to work, so next time just eliminate the extra tsp of salt or make sure your seasoning doesn’t have salt in it. The recipe will still work fine 🙂
