While this seems far more American South West to me than any Island it is, no matter what it's name, excellent. It does benifit for a chill but it's not bad fresh made either. Made by the recipe it's very fresh tasting and a real treat.

Wonderful salad! I cut it back by 2/3rds because there are just 2 of us. I'm so sorry I did because we ate a huge amount of it last night and I went back later for more as a snack. I just finished the last of it up for my lunch. Made as directed using a home made Italian dressing. Yummy!

I didn't think I would like this overly much, as I'm not a big bean fan, but I knew DH would. Well, I loved it, too! The Italian dressing gave the mixture a tangy sweet taste, and the lime juice a wonderful freshness. I can think of many dishes this will go well with and I will definitely make it again!
