We could eat this for every meal in summer, even breakfast. It is the salad I make when I have to take a dish to an event, because it is so quick to assemble and everyone comes back for. It is easy to expand by adding more tomatoes or frozen corn. As always, use LOTS of cilantro. – Anne Crile Esselstyne
