For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon bits with smoked paprika or vegan bacon crumbles. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful kick. Freshly squeezed citrus juice is highly recommended for the best flavor. To elevate the dish further, consider adding toasted almonds or pecans for a nutty crunch.
