Method

  1. Combine potato cubes, carrot pieces, chopped onions and cilantro in large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together dressing ingredients and pour over salad ingredients.

Notes:

For best results, allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving so the flavors can fully meld together.
