This is really supposed to be a salad, but I used it as a salsa on pulled pork tacos.

Original recipe is here:

Since I used it as a salsa, I only made 1/2 recipe. I had to do a little deleting and subbing, but it's basically the same. It's tangy!
 
I made this yesterday (tweeked it just a bit), but forgot to add the avocado!! The best part!

Had it as a side to fish tacos - easy, and refreshing!
