"I've been doing the South Beach Diet for a week now and created this scrumptious salad today. It was so yummy that I know I'll eat this for a long time. It is a must for cilantro lovers!"

Wow, this was awesome. Day 1 and I was struggling to find something quick to make. Thanks so much.

This is a great lunch to bring to work. However, I left the balsamic vinegar off since I had no way to bring it to work....and it was still a great lunch!

<p>Hello, My name is Monica and I am a 35 year old, happily married mom of 2. After working as a project manager for many years, I currently am a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful daughter Hannah who is 10 years old,& our sweet son Liam who is 6. I love being home with them! I am a Navy wife of 19 years. It is an adventurous, fun, sometimes stressful life but we are proud to be a Navy family in service of our country. <br />Cooking is one of my passions. I could sit down and read recipes like I would a regular novel. I would say I am more of a recipe gatherer rather than a recipe orginator. I do tweak things a lot to suit my families taste, but other than that I rely on recipes for ideas and technique. I find most of my own recipes have been posted in some form or another here, but I look forward to having more to add in the future. <br />I am an avid baker and also love international foods. Being half Thai, I love Thai food and have gotten my family to learn to appreciate it as well.</p>
