Thanks for the review. It sounds perfect for this weekend because I have cilantro, a bumper crop of yellow bell peppers, 1/2 a container of cherry tomatoes and the tag end of a red onion I'll sub for the scallions. I love the idea of chipotle and cumin in the dressing.

I think this might morph into a really nice potluck salad by adding some cooked pasta (shells maybe) and fresh corn kernels. The make-ahead part is definitely a winner.

Steve made this last weekend with fresh off the cob corn. It was really, REALLY good!
