Notes
Some tips:
People may be wondering, what exactly is a "dash" of salt and/or pepper? It's taking the salt into your finger tips and very carefully adding a pinch of it to your food to enhance the flavor.
Here's why I'm big on this: there is sodium in the most other products, the sausage is heavily seasoned and the feta contains salt as well. Adding too much salt to a dish can be devastating because depending what it is, you can't take the saltiness out.
