This recipe reminded me more of a salsa than a salad and we actually used it more like a salsa. The book gave the idea of wrapping it in a burrito with avocados and salsa, but we just put it on top of quesadillas or just a tortilla and ate it like that and it was delicious.
I loved that it used diced tomatillos. That was new for me. We love the tomatillo ranch that goes with cafe rio pork, but I had never tried it diced in a salad. It was good.
I'd rate this one a 4.5 or 5 star. I loved it's fresh flavors. Of course my kids that don't like beans or salsa (not the same kids) were not thrilled with it. I however enjoyed the left overs for lunch twice. YUM!
I did do a tiny bit of modifying of this recipe making a bit less. This way it serves about 6. (original was 8)
