This is similar to something my grandmother used to make me in the summer! I tried your recipe but made a few changes;
I used parsley instead of cilantro, I added two cups cooked pearl barley, some spicy salsa, a red bell pepper, one and a half ripe avocado! I also skipped the jalapeño [as my salsa is spicy!] and the sugar.

It's delicious!
