This is quick, easy and very delicious! Great for a cold meal on a hot summer day when you don't want to heat up the kitchen. Any brand of ingredients can be used, but I recommend those highlighted in the recipe, both for their flavor and because they're a perfect fit when it comes to Zone balance. Enjoy!
