This is a fantastic recipe! I did some minor changes simply due to my "inventory" but the different textures and flavors make this dish! Instead of cumin/oregano/sage (I didn't have those) I just taco seasoning. Instead of Mayonaise and ranch mix, I just used ranch dressing in a bottle. This was a huge hit and everyone wanted the recipe!

JUST INCREDIBLE! Took it to our church potluck and it just disappeared into thin air!!! So many flavors and textures in your mouth, um um it was vastly superior to ANY cold salad I have ever made! This one goes immediately into my permanent file..THANKS A MILLION!!

Inez, you came to the rescue again! I had a party to go to on Sat night, and was asked to bring a dish to pass. I've had this one in my cookbook for ages, and I'm so glad I chose to make it! This was the hit of the party! I tried to serve it cut into squares but as the drinks flowed my rowdy friends were digging in and eating it right out of the dish with their spoons! I have a recipe for a corn bread salad, but I really like the Mexican twist with this one, and the layered look as well! I'm going to toss my old recipe out and use this one from now on!
