I just had one with a lemon vinaigrette, tomato and roasted corn. I think this time I want some thing with a balsamic vinaigrette. But what veggies and crunchies to add????? Thanks for your inspiration.

Salt and pepper to taste, a sprinkle of Italian herbs, and some fresh chopped cilantro or parsley. For dressing, squeeze a lime or two, depending on how much you like Of course, it tastes best if done at least a couple of hours before eating. Finally, cut up an avocado or two and add right before serving. Tue Jul 21 19:01:21 -0700 2009 4878797 203621 todao
