Quite tasty and very easy. It needed some salt. Next I want to try it with lime juice.

Exactly what I was looking for! I used lime juice instead of lemon juice, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. We ate this salad with some flank steak and grilled veggies, and it was delicious. The cumin is PERFECT and gives this salad its "kick". My parents and sister were raving about this salad, they said I should definitely make this every time we grill out. I could do that, since the ingredients are pretty easy to keep on hand. Yummmmm!

I loved this salad! I did add some salt, but other than to use all yellow pepper rather than a mixture of yellow and red, I followed the recipe as written.

Fresh-tasting! I used extra cumin. And because I ran out of parsley, I used fresh cilantro and it was wonderful. When plated, I plopped some sour cream on top. Nice recipe Vicki!
