Southwest Salad With Fresh Lime Cilantro Dressing image

I have been preparing this salad for the past 6 or 7 years and I still love it just as much as the first time I made it. These ingredients just come together so beautifully in this dish you'll be amazed at the reactions each time you serve it. And unlike many salads, it is even great the next day as leftovers!

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the dressing was too runny. I wouldn't make it again.
