Wow - a super refreshing summer salad!  I substituted crushed red peppers for the dried peppers and dressed the salad just before serving.  I also zested my lime on the fruit and substituted micro greens for arugula.  It was a wonderful side dish with critrus glazed grilled salmon.  Thanks Giada - this will be something I make all summer!!
