It was really good. The one thing I would have done differently is to save a bit of dressing for the spinach. It needed something. Also, if you are having it as left-overs you need some lime to liven the flavor up (it seemed to dissipate). This could have also been because it was in my car at 85 degrees (in a lunch bag, but not a cooler) for 3 hours. Who knows. It tasted fine.
Would have again.
