I love this salad. I have eaten it almost everyday since I found this recipe last week. Sometimes I add more basil, sometimes more cilantro...what a delightful mix of fresh flavours. The only problem is I am drinking alot more Pinot, it goes beautifully with the salad. Thanks so much for the recipe!
