That's like selling Greek olive salad with macaroni as filler.

      0:00 put frozen tater tot in mouth
      0:16 outside pieces of tater tot are flaking off fully saturated in saliva. The flavor at this point is reminiscent of freezer burnt fish sticks 👌
      0:40 larger chunks have formed and flaked off and now it's just one smooth frozen potato chilling frigidly on the inside of my cheek. At this stage we're gonna rate the flavor a .04 out of 10. This is not tasty.

    The Mom-Deli salad, minus the pasta, makes for a delicious sandwich filling inside a pita pocket. Herbed, oil-packed sun dried tomatoes are easy and cheaper to make at home. Be sure to use dried herbs bec fresh ones go moldy after some time. The flavored oil is good too, so don't toss it.

    Hey Bri! I made the pesto pasta salad for a family get together today. It was great! I think in particular that this pesto recipe (I used walnuts) is a very versatile recipe that could be taken in so many directions. I eyeballed the vinegar, and I think I didn't add enough. It just didn't quite have that tang, so it tasted a bit more like a cold pesto pasta dish, but was still amazing! I think I'll go heavier on the vinegar and maybe add a bit of extra lemon juice to finish it off next time. Amazing!
