Notes
- *Salt: make sure you are using kosher salt and not sea salt or table salt. Also, if you feel you are sensitive to salt, feel free to reduce it by half. I have gotten some feedback that it is too salty, while others think it is perfect so do what works best for you!
- Storage: keep in the refrigerator, covered for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
