Ensalada, por favor

Here's my new favorite summer salad...a delish dish for those of you who love health-mex and a touch of lime. I could live on food like this! Jen shared it with me last week and I had to make it because it was SO yummy! It's a great side salad, especially with Mexican dishes. We had it with fajitas last night & then it was so good, I had it for lunch today with just a handful of tortilla chips. YUMMO!
