"This is my favorite summer recipe from the Moosewood cookbook credited above. I am on vacation without the recipe and FOUND IT ON BIG OVEN!!!!!A great salad with high protein quinoa instead of high carb pasta. Cilantro and jalapeno add a special zest. Will serve with steamed shrimp tonight." - phyllissoine
