About Kelli
That looks really yummy.
This would make a great lunch for a weekend afternoon, too.
Looks really good! Can’t wait to try it! I’ll leave out the olives though, since I really dislike them…I may add Sunflower seed kernels along with the sesame seeds…I will definitely substitute fat free yogurt and mayo…and will use no calorie sweetener instead of the sugar.
I will definitely be trying this recipe. It looks delicious and so healthy too!
