Notes

Optional add-ins:

If you really want to take this over the top, you could also add bacon bits or crumbled cotija or blue cheese.  I like to add sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds at the end - or they can just be sprinkled on top. 
Try my Crème Fraiche Dressing with Preserved Lemon Paste as an optional dressing.  It's lemony, creamy, and oh so delicious!
