Directions
-
Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl except lettuce. Refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to two days to marinate (the longer the better).
-
If using butter lettuce leaves arrange them on a large plate and fill each one with 1/4 cup of salad mixture.

Alternative Serving Suggestion: Use jicama instead of lettuce for the serving vessel. Peel the jicama and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds, then slice the rounds into triangles (eighths) to resemble tortilla chips. Serve like chips and salsa using the raw jicama “chips” instead of tortilla chips.
