    This is delicious. I modified it a little as I was a little tired of chick peas, so deleted them, and I put the salad in a whole wheat mini pita. Yummy and I am looking forward to lunch tomorrow as I eat it for lunch. Thanks Jason.

    I was a little skeptical of this dish, but the avocado and lime juice really bring it together! I put it in a tortilla shell and had it as tacos. This will be even better on a hot summer day!
