TANGY CILANTRO LIME CONFETTI SALAD

Tangy Cilantro Lime Confetti Salad image

I love standout salads that burst with flavor-the kind that make you feel as if you're splurging without having to eat that piece of chocolate cake. This is one of my very favorites, and everyone I serve it to loves it as well. -Jasey McBurnett, Rock Springs, Wyoming
