“Perfect for a buffet, picnic or potluck, this colorful side can be served at room temperature," says Michelle Chicoine of Missoula, Montana. "You’ll want to make extra because the flavors only get better the second day!” TASTY TIP Toasting whole cumin seeds and then grinding them adds extra flavor to this salad. If you don’t have whole cumin seeds, substitute 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin—don’t toast.

I loved the Molasses with Lime. What a great idea! I added more of both flavors just because I liked them together so much and it was excellent!

This recipe was excellent and easy to make. It's a great take a long to summer picnics and potlucks since it can be made ahead of time and doesn't contain ingredients that will spoil easily in the heat. My husband even compared it to the fixings in a Chipotle burrito, which he loves.

We love the combination of flavors with just the right amount of heat from the jalapenos. This is a great make-ahead dish for barbecues and picnics since it goes so well with grilled meat. I use cooked brown rice for a bit more nutrition.
