This has gotten rave reviews at family picnics in the past. It is a refreshing change from the standard meat-salads used for sandwiches and is relatively easy to make. Pita pockets are the recommended serving implement but serve it up however you wish. Ingredients:

2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (or 2 tbsp. minced parsley mixed with 3/4 tsp. dried cilantro) |
