NOTES : Serve over leaves of lettuce or over chilled cooked rice,
        millet or quinoa
        This salad tastes wonderful as a salsa in a taco or with
        taco chips
       
        In the middle of winter the tomatoes don't have much
        flavour. So I substitute a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
        (drained)
