SOUTHWEST SALAD WITH CILANTRO DRESSING

Southwest Salad with Cilantro Dressing image

An excellent cool salad. It is make ahead and easy to make. The colors are very attractive, and the dressing is tart and tangy. You may also use the dressing on pasta or beans. Add grilled chicken strips for a complete meal, or Garbanzo beans, or try adding torn Romain lettuce just before serving.
