Southwest Salad With Fresh Lime Cilantro Dressing image

I have been preparing this salad for the past 6 or 7 years and I still love it just as much as the first time I made it. These ingredients just come together so beautifully in this dish you'll be amazed at the reactions each time you serve it. And unlike many salads, it is even great the next day as leftovers!

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was bland and the salad itself was just a bunch of chopped up vegetables.

I'm not sure I like the combination of fruits and vegetables in this salad. It's a bit too sweet for my taste.

I made this salad exactly as the recipe said and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more lime juice to the dressing.

I'm not usually a fan of cilantro, but it really worked in this salad. It added a nice freshness that balanced out the sweetness of the fruit.
