I really loved this salad. It was so easy to make too! I went with another reviewer's suggestion and cut the oil down to 1/8 cup. The next day there was only a little salad left (but still plenty of dressing so I added some corn and roasted edamame. Delicious.

I, too, have made this salad often. It does not NEED cilantro. That is the writer's preference. The salad has great flavor without it. It deserves the five stars that most reviewers are giving it.
P.S. Sometimes I add shrimp to it.

Delicious. My husband and I made a few modifications. We cut back a little bit on the Cayenne pepper. We added chopped grilled chicken and some cilantro. Yum! Next time we may try adding some crumbled cotija cheese.
