This was a wonderful hors d'oeurve, so pretty, cool and tasty. The only change I made was subbing parsley for the cilantro as we do not care for that herb. I used this as part of a ladies brunch I held in Aug. They were all gone when meal was over.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm wondering if you can make it as a salad, minus the cilantro?
