Notes
Add lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh, tangy twist.
Mix in chopped fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives.
Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a different sweetness profile.
Top with toasted nuts, such as pine nuts or almonds, for added crunch.
Blend in roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for extra depth of flavor.
