Love this recipe! I use it all the time to bring to potlucks &amp; cookouts where it always gets rave reviews. It is a bit heavy as described, so I reduce the peanut butter to 1/2 cup and I add 1/4 cup peanut oil (instead of 1/2 cup canola). I also serve it with lime wedges to brighten the flavor. Easy, quick, fresh, vegan, and flavorful!<br />
