You just can't lose with this winning combination of cumin, lime juice and cilantro. Munch on this for a lovely light lunch, or pair it with your favorite Mexican dish for a super-satisfying dinner.

We really enjoyed this. We did not have Italian Dressing and substituted a balsamic viniagrette...the result was a little strong. So we tried it again, and substituted ranch dressing and the result was wonderful! (We also cut down a bit on the lime juice.) Yummy mix of ingredients!
