Note to self: Make this recipe ASAP. It sounds wholesome and so delicious. I love this website here, glutenfreecat.com where I stumbled upon this recipe. My husband isn't crazy about cilantro. I guess he didn't get that cilantro loving gene. It seems people love it or hate it. As Rachel Ray suggests, I think I may add a little chopped mint to the dressing. She says it tones down the strong cilantro flavor for those who find it a bit overwhelming. MMM. . . .my mouth waters just thinking about this salad. Enjoy!
