This is a wonderful salad! Very fresh taste and full of color. Served this to some friends and they just loved it. I was nervous about adding a whole tablespoon of chili powder thinking it would make the salad too spicy, but it only gave it a nice flavor and didn't make it taste spicy at all. Made for PAC and I'll be making it again! Thanks!
