Serving Ideas : salad or appetizer NOTES : The early Mexicans were busy cultivating peppers, squash and avocados some 9000 years ago -- about the same time as their counterparts in the Middle East. Two thousand years later they were growing maize/sweet corn and beans and around 700 AD came tomato cultivation. These crops still lay a central part in Mexican food. This dish is quick to make and very refreshing. In summer time, when lighter meals go down well, it could make a main dish. Nutr.
