This is absolutely delicious!  I usually make it on the 4th, but am doing potato salad today.  Good for a potluck.

Doesn't that sound good at a cookout?  I'm picturing it looking really pretty, too.

RB makes this leaving out the rice, substituting olive oil for dressing, and adding the tomatoes (smaller dice) when she makes it rather than at the end.

We eat it as a salsa on Lime Tostitos.  :drool:
