Notes
- This dish is great for anyone on a special diet. It's naturally vegan, dairy-free, paleo, whole30, vegetarian, AIP, and even works for the GAPS Diet. Gotta love it. With all of the special diets around today, it's nice to have something that works for almost everyone.
- Basically the only diet this won't work for is keto.
