This, as a salad is delicious, but it also makes the basis for a great main course! After step 3, I added a full jar of Newman's Own salsa with black beans, the cilantro, one 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes with sweet onions and a pound of skinless chicken thighs. Then I let the whole thing simmer for 1/2 hour, turning the chicken several times. Add some rice or mashed potatoes and you have a full meal. Thanks Crabbycakes.

Tastey, zippy salad, went very well with our steak and baked potato. To cut the fat a bit, I used olive oil, used canned peaches and cream niblets and used parsley in place of cilantro, simply because I had no cilantro. Scaled the recipe for 2 and there was still plenty. A nice quick everyday side dish. Thanks for sharing.

This was easy to make and good. I followed the recipe exactly. I didn't, however, account for the fact that I needed to chill the dish after making, so I spread it as thinly as I could in a dish and popped it in the freezer to chill quickly. That worked just fine, but I have to say that I liked it better warm than cold. Thank you for posting.
