Light and refreshing! Great for a hot summer days. Make sure to allow it time to marinate all the flavors together and serve chilled. We ate this as a side to white fish (grouper) but I can imagine it would go well with many different dishes. If available, I would highly recommend the fresh herbs over the dried.
