    I have been making a recipe similar to this one , only difference is that instead of vinegar and lemon juice, I use the juice of 2 limes! Absolutely delicious ! One of my favourite salads...

    calories are off, rice listed but not in the recipe, no peppers, I made 1/2 recipe using two ears of corn roasted, lowered the oil to 1 tsp, and in the dressing 1 tbs instead of 1/4 cup, used parsley instead of ciltantro. The taste was excellent, will make again! - 5/24/15

    This is an awesome salad! I made it for a pot luck lunch at work and it was a hit! I loooove cilantro and probably added more of it and cumin than the recipe said. Next time I might add some jalapeno pepper too - 6/6/15

    I would have to leave out the Cilantro, but would leave all else the same. It sounds very good. - 5/23/15
