Boy, howdy---I think I liked the story better than the salad, which is saying a lot! Yarn spinners abound in the Lone Star State, but you should inaugurate a storyteller's event -- betcha you'd ribbon big! Anyway. Recipe's great; used Roma/plum tomatoes instead as that's what I had and they're easy to de-seed, so salads are less watery. Also left out cumin, cause family isn't partial to it, but recipe still rocks! Thanks!
