Makes leftovers

I made quite a few changes because of missing ingredients (no capers, pickled red onion->fresh white onion) and preferences (sweet relish->dill relish), so take this review with a grain of salt, but I enjoyed this recipe! It's filling and I think it makes 3 servings rather than 2. A liiittle bland, but that's easily attributed to my missing ingredients.
