This recipe is on steady rotation in our home. I have learned to double this recipe, as it is impossible to stop myself from eating it straight out of the bowl. I am currently devouring it in a wrap garnished with pea shoots and pickled beets. I may need another one.
Sharon says
Mmmmm ... I saw this recipe a few days ago, and I've been dying to make it. I finally got around to it today. I am painfully slow in the kitchen, but this was quick and easy. And absolutely delicious!! I just added some mixed greens and wrapped it up in a tortilla. This will be a go-to recipe for me from now on!
Verna Rindler says
Sounds fabulous Sharon 🙂 thanks for your feedback -so helpful!
Natalie says
Delicious! I don't like bell peppers and I'm not usually big on lemon, but I made it exactly as written and I wouldn't change a thing! It's flavorful, has the perfect amount of crunch, and the lemon makes it bright and fresh. Thank you!!
Verna says

Toni says
Excited to try this. How do you store this and for how long?

It will keep covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
Gigi says
This recipe could not be better. So good. I did use dill pickle relish and some of the juice instead of chopping a pickle, which I didn't have. I do have a question for you regarding the nutrition facts. Why does it say there is 4.1 mg of cholesterol?
Verna says
Hi Gigi thrilled you enjoyed the recipe! and thanks for heads up. Nutritional chart has been updated!

Tamara says
I made this recipe and finished off a jar vegan mayo and started a second one. Didn’t know it but I had gotten wasabi vegan mayo and the second jar I used was that / it was a delicious spicy twist. My husband said we should always make it that way.
Verna says
Glad you guys enjoyed it Tamara! I love the accidental spicy twist! I'll have to try that- yum!
Jenny says
