Fresh and Delicious!
This is the easiest recipe to make- perfect for a summer night! The flavor was fresh and perfectly balanced. I would recommend this dish for a light dinner or as an appetizer to share with friends (they will think you are a pro chef and it is so easy). I served it with tortilla chips which was a perfect pairing for a little extra crunch. Not too spicy. Will make again soon!
