This salad had a nice texture, and was very pretty. I added a small jalapeno, but thought it could have used more. I also upped the cumin a bit. Since BF doesn't like cilantro, I substituted parsely and added some coriander (which is just dried cilantro, but for some reason that doesn't bother him). I also reduced the olive oil to a tablespoon or two. It tasted better the next day:) Made for ZWT Chow Hounds.

This was pretty easy and fast to put together, given the long list of ingredients. However, I found that is was not quite as flavorful as I would have liked. Maybe it is just a simple matter of adding salt and pepper to taste. I will definitely try this again, though. Made for ZWT5 by a Groovy GastroGnome.
