Description

Perfect for everyday meals. You can store the ready-made salad in the refrigerator or cellar for up to one year. Serve it cold. You can adjust the spiciness to taste during cooking; however, I prefer the spicy version. You can add green tomatoes, garlic, and hot pepper. Garnish as desired and serve.
