I served this over spinach leaves and sunflower seeds. It was very flavorful. Next time I'd love to try it with jicama and avocado. Thanks LonghornMama for another great recipe. Roxygirl

I just wanted to comment on how flavourful the dressing is in this recipe. It has a real kick! We didn't have spinach but we did have a couple avocados to use up so we just fanned them out on a plate and drizzled some of the chili lime dressing over them. It really added a spicy pizazz to ordinary avocados. Thanks!

So few ingredients, yet this salad has a wonderful flavor that is excellent with Mexican food. Served this with Easy Black Beans and Rice Easy Black Beans and Rice by RitaL and Chicken Fajitas with Grilled Peppers and Onions #128504 by ellie.
