Texas Tabbouleh

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 40 min. + chilling YIELD: 10 servings.
I used to live in Texas. When I moved away, I missed those classic Tex-Mex flavors that were always such a big part of my meals. I decided to create a fresh and healthy salad that reminds me of traditional pico de gallo. My friends especially love it because it's so different; it's always a pretty popular dish at our gatherings. —Tammy Davis, Arlington, Virginia
