"This is so flavorful and yummy! I cannot take credit for it however, I found it in the Healthy Cooking magazine and wanted to share it with everyone! So refreshing, would taste great on a burger or chicken sandwich. It tastes a lot like the topping of the quesadilla explosion salad from Chili's! I actually used a whole lime instead of 1 T. of juice and zested it. I also used a bit more salt after it sat for awhile!"

Nice salsa, the sesame oil and rice vinegar weren't enough to impart a Thai feel to the dish, in our opinion, but it was a refreshing and healthy counterpoint to a guilty pleasure main dish. Made for October 2012 Pick A Chef.

This made a colorful and very tasty salad and would make a nice salsa pairing with things like fish tacos. We enjoyed the spark of lime paired with the sesame oil. The sesame oil flavor is fairly strong. Next time I'll sprinkle with sesame seeds and maybe a few red pepper flakes. The seeded jalapeno imparted little heat. I added no salt & used crisp canned corn (drained). Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I have been married for 6 years now and thanks to great websites like this and the Food Network I have become an even better cook! Well, my Mom raised me right and I thought I was a good cook to start...but now I'm even better! I love to cook to make people happy and love baking and sending the goods off to work with my husband. I'm a sucker for chocolate and Italian food! I'll try pretty much anything once...I just may not eat it again lol But I have to say again...I LOVE COOKING!!! :)
