Updated on Aug 4, 2012

I made this for a BBQ a few weeks ago and let me tell you it was a huge hit. I made it the morning of but when I had some the next day (what little there was) it was even better. It is a salad but very versatile. Use it to top tacos, make lettuce wraps or just grab some tortilla chips and dig in. ha ha I adapted this recipe from Chef Holly Hadsell
