Author Notes
I love salads! Last summer I created this salad after returning from the farmer's market with my bounty. This is a great late spring or summer salad when fresh produce is at its best and so available. Scallions can easily be substituted for the spring onions and the red pepper is optional. But don't leave out the lime juice and the few spoonfuls of Trader Joe's Corn and Chile Salsa...that combined with the natural juices of the rest of the ingredients makes its own perfect sweet and spicy dressing. —dinner at sheila's
