We had an OOPS moment no capsicum/bellpepper or well that was useable so as I scaled back for 2 (which served 3 of us very well) so I added a whole tomatoe to compensate otherwise made as directed and the dressing certainly added very nice flavour, thank you Taris Flashpaw, made for Name that Ingredient tag game.
