I really enjoy preparing salads that will keep in the fridge for a couple of days.  This Santa Fe Salad is perfect for exactly that, it will stay fresh for 2-3 days.  I love to top chili with this recipe or scrambled eggs, tacos or it is yummy as a side.   I find that 1 tsp. of cumin is not enough flavour so I add about 1/2 tsp. more for a little kick.   Enjoy!
