Made this tonight for dinner and it was really yummy *and* filling. I added a bit of lemon (lime would have been better) and fresh cilantro to the salsa/oil dressing and it gave it a bit of zing. Super easy, a great way to eat something that tastes great and is still somehow good for you. This one's going into the weekly rotation!0 of 0 people found this review helpful
