Notes
You can make this in a WildSide+ jar by increasing the ingredients 1.5 or 2 times.
Do you have to use the yeast?
No, but it does add additional flavor and nutrition.
So this is meant to be cold?
It’s meant to be room temperature but can be adjusted to fit your liking! When tossed with hot noodles, it will get warmer, obviously, which is what we did. :) Hope that helps!
We thought this was delicious! My husband isn’t a huge fan of lemon, so I might cut back on that a bit next time and substitute with water, even though I loved the lemon. I made homemade pasta and since we are not vegans, we topped everything with lots of grated parmigiano reggiano cheese and cracked black pepper. I used my smaller twister jar and it worked great! Yum!
