Very good salad. Used store-bought salsa and next time I will use self-made as we wanted it a little hotter. Used just a pinch of salt and about four turns of the pepper mill. Took some of it for lunch at work and of course it had to be tasted. Only positive sounds and could they please have the recipe. The salad is easy to make, tasty and highly recommended. Made for PAC Spring '08. Thanks for posting.
