- Add in the celery, spinach, cilantro and warm pepper, if using. Mix well.
- Adjust salt and pepper and lime juice. Let stand about 10 min at room temperature. Serve a scoop in a sandwich, in a cored whole tomato, or possibly on a bed of lettuce. Excellent with croissants or possibly Parker house rolls, warmed.

- NOTES : This is a favorite. It needs good ingredients: Hidden Valley Ranch Light Coleslaw is lemony and the Dannon fat free yogurt with acidophilus is very smooth. We like cilantro and lime, but we've used other herbs when fresh. Guests like this. It is always a winner.
