Ok, so I am not big into measuring ingredients exactly, so what I did for the ingredients was use the canned vegetables as the recipe states, but instead of measuring the rest I just used a whole package of grape tomatoes, skipped the green onions (I couldn't find them at the store) and measured the Cilantro. When I measured the Cilantro it looked like a LOT, so I only put in about half of what the recipe stated. Bad Idea. It ended up not having a lot of flavor.
Also - don't try the dressing before you mix it into the salad...it does NOT taste good. Once it mixes with the salad, it comes out much better.
I would def use more chili powder, or add something else to give it a little kick. Other than that though it was good! And it made a lot, so I had more for lunch the next day.
If you want to make this into a salsa, don't drain the vegetables, and add more dressing.
You can also use some soft tortilla shells and make a veggie burrito! (The pic shows it with Naan on the side)
