I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still very flavorful.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

This salad is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili sauce.
