This salad is sooo good! I love the vinaigrette, it is tangy, light and refreshing. Perfect balance of flavors. I love the crunch too. Thank you! Will make again.

Loved it! The crunch, the jalapeno, garlic and lime all combined so well. Thanks so much Chef! I tend not to like overly sweet dressings so I tasted as I added the honey and sugar and found I only needed half. And I added more basil as I served it. Yum! Cannot wait to make it again. Made for Spring 08 PAC.
