This salad has never lasted more than 24 hours in our house! Make sure you use fresh lemon and lime juice -- they're really the stars of this show.

Although the salad dressing was too acidic, and I couldn't taste the hot sauce, the rest of the ingredients were a great combination. It was a very light, yet filling addition to the meal, and it also looked very pretty! If I make this recipe again I would probably put some fresh grapes or some honey in it to balance out the dressing.
