Mexican Salad With Honey Lime Dressing image

I found this at the MyFoodDiary.com forums, but originally it comes from SELF magazine. The original salad used radishes, but I substitute green onions instead. Healthy fats in this salad, but I've also reduced the amount of oil in the dressing. Sometimes I eat the leftovers in a tortilla as a sort of veggie or salad wrap.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken. I also like to add black beans and corn for a heartier meal.
