For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the dressing. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, a drizzle of honey or agave nectar can be added to balance the acidity of the lime juice. This salad can be prepared ahead of time. The flavors will continue to develop as it sits in the refrigerator.
