This has become one of my most requested potluck dishes. I love that there is no mayo so you can take it to picnics & BBQs without worrying if it will spoil. Different and delicious! The cumin in the dressing really works here.

This was really good-it tasted better the longer it sat in the refrigerator. I cut it in half for two people and it made plenty.
