This salad. THIS salad. It all began one rainy winter's day when planning my contribution to the family Christmas dinner, where we would be meeting in a fireplace-heated house with the hopes of fresh snow. I reflected on what my family might prepare: cheesy potatoes, ham, green bean casserole, fresh bread, etc... all following a charcuterie board full of soft cheeses, salami, nuts, and crackers. And it was then that I decided to prepare a salad that would taste like summer amidst this winter-ful meal. And it served its purpose delightfully among all eighteen of us.

I love this side salad because it is bright, fresh, a hint of the sub-tropical, and definitely served best whenever you feel like it--winter or summer. It's also way too easy to make. Have I made this salad when lime cost over $1 each and avos were over $3 each? I will not definitively give an answer to that question...
Enjoy!
