This was a good salad but lacked flavor for us. If I make this one again, I'd use less oil and more seasoning. I love cilantro but the flavor just didn't come through for us. Thank you for posting.

Great salad! Very simple tasting ingredients in the salad ,but it needs to be with the POP from that fabulous dressing. We were thinking that chunks of avacado would be outstanding added to the mix! Thanks so much Kate for posting this!

This was excellent. Next time, I'll be adding sliced radishes and grape tomatoes for colour and flavour. Sliced bits of mango would be a very good addition too.
