Swordfish Salad With Salsa Dressing

On her first date with him, Robyn Webb's husband ordered swordfish. All these years later, he still requests this salad once a month. If swordfish is not a favorite of yours, use salmon, halibut, haddock, or sea bass, all of which work wonderfully well in this dish.
