"I guess this is just a glorified chunky guacamole, but my, it is good. Served at Tabla Bread Bar and featuring in the 2006 Saveur 100, this is an adaptation of a recipe by Melissa Clark via Yoga Journal. You can serve this over mixed greens as a salad, with pita bread as a dip, with any Goan-style curry as a side dish, or any other way you can dream up. It's highly versatile. Cooking time includes time sitting in the fridge (the salad, not the chef)."

We love this salad! I made it exactly as written except I had to use cherry tomatoes as our store was out of grape tomatoes. Thanks Miss Olivia!

This made a great light supper for my husband and I. I halved the recipe, using green onions(so it would be a milder onion flavor for my DH), and left out the coriander(ran out). I added parsley and more cilantro. Loved it! Thanks!

This was really good with grilled chicken. The cumin and coriander give it great flavor. I used chopped tomato instead of grape tomatoes. Thanks for the recipe miss olivia!
