This is such a nice light flavorful salad!!! It's from a newsletter I get from Hawaii and we had it for dinner today.

and, here's a Caribbean jerk seasoning I made -
Caribbean Jerk Seasoning & Rub
2 T. dried minced onion (I used 1/2 T. onion powder)
1 T. garlic powder
4 tsps. crushed dry thyme leaves (I used 1 T.)
2 tsps. salt
2 tsps. ground allspice
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 T. sugar
2 tsps. black pepper
1 tsp. cayenne pepper (I used 1/2 tsp.)
In a jar with tight fitting lid, shake together all spices and seasonings. Store tightly covered at room temp. Makes about 1/2 cup
Because I'm not a big yogurt fan, I didn't have high expectations for this, but we both just loved it.... that's why no pictures.

Sounds so "springy"! Perhaps this should go on the menu in the next two weeks, you know, to get us in the mood.
