I tasted it before I put it in the fridge, and I really liked it. Great combination of flavors and textures. I didn't have white vinegar so I had to use cider.

Deb's note: If you think that you don't like either cilantro or assertively spicy food, this salad could change your mind, as it did mine. The flavors play off each other, creating a dish even better than the sum of its parts. Like any recipe that's been passed down through generations, there are many different versions of this, some with plum jam, pomegranate juice and seeds, ground coriander, marigold, cinnamon, or all of the above, but I just make it the way my mother-in-law does — crunchy, spicy and tangy.

 
This looks great, Dawn. I'm trying to work more beans into my diet (and meat out of it).

I'll definitely try this recipe. I have everything in the house except cilantro. Do you think celery would work?
(I'm impatioent and would love to try it immediately. *LOL*)
