- I was testing a recipe for my uncle. My grandma used to make this when he was a kid. He tried it and loved it. Me not so much.
- I used 1 very large cucumber instead of two.
- 1tbs salt was not enough in my opinion. Or perhaps there is a bit too much sugar or not enough vinegar? The dressing is a bit sweeter than I want.
- Maybe more garlic would help.
- I garnished with feta just cause and it was fine. Didn't really add anything
- I don't have a mandolin so I had to do it by hand, I can see where a mandolin would be good, thin slices seem like they'd be better
- The dressing is really good. I was shocked. Very light and refreshing.
- I'm just eating it on it's own but I can see why it'd be really good with heavy meat dishes.

- We both really love this.
- Used Compliments Medium Chunky Salsa, and Old El Paso Hot and Spicy taco seasoning
- prep was fairly straight forward too so that was nice
- One dish meal ya know, can't go wrong

- My partner absolutely loved this, I thought it was good but not mind blowing
- Couldn't find tidbits so I bought a tin of crushed pineapple
- Partner doesn't like pineapple so I just used the juice and put some leftover fruit on my own dish. I think I'll just add the crushed fruit in next time, it'll mix with the sauce well.
- Used strips instead of chunks so I didn't need to precook the chicken as long and left it a bit pink. It cooked fully in the sauce at the end.
- Had to crank the heat and reduce the sauce quick so nothing got overcooked.
- Served with white rice cooked with a chicken stock cube.

- We really enjoyed it, it was simple and filling. Leftovers were great too.
- Used McCain Smiles because we didn't have Tater Tots.
- It was very dense and starchy with the beans and potatoes
- Omitted step 4 entirely since since I can bake it directly in the pan I used to cook the meat. Why dirty another dish? Glad I didn't do it though, that would have definitely been too much potato for our liking.
- I put a cilantro-jalapeño crema on top of mine and it was made it better for me.
- Used Old El Paso original taco seasoning from the shaker, and needed to add more that recommended, probably about double. I eyeballed it to be honest (I suspect the shaker seasoning is less flavourful)
- I think next time I'll use a spicy taco seasoning, add some chili flakes or fresh jalapeños to give it some kick. I'll also try Tater Tots as per the recipe
