Absolutely wonderful! Assembles in a flash, and the leftovers are even better the next day for lunch. Definitely a keeper!

I don't like spicy things so i didn't add the jalapenos at all.. it was GREAT! so fresh and light yet hardy. This is a great make again. I think i'll add grilled shrimp next time.

I made this as a side dish for bbq steak and it was great. It was super easy to make and had a nice light summertime feel. I agree with the other reviewers in that I think it was missing a little something. Next time I think I might add more jalapeno or maybe red pepper for a little more heat.

I took this salad to a party and it was a huge hit. For me, it was missing just a lil something, but I love all the ingredients put together in this unique manner.

A little too cumin-y for me. I added more lime juice and salt, which would up my rating to 4*.

This is awesome! Due to personal preference, I omitted the corn, added finely chopped red onion, and exchanged the fresh jalapeno for a huge spoonful of canned diced jalapenos. Thanks!

This salad was delicious. I couldn't find any jalapenos so I just chopped some onion and added it to the salad. It was a big hit! As my husband says, it's a keeper!

LOVE IT!!! Very light and flavorful. We had it over a bed of crisp roman lettuce. I also doubled the avocado and tomato, and added a teaspoon of sugar to the sauce. Will be making this again.

This salad was so light and refreshing. I didn't feel like dealing with the hassle of peeling a jalapeno, so I just used diced green chilies. Even my husband who doesn't like cucumbers really liked it!

This is an excellent salad. I took a cue from some of the other reviewers and served it in pitas. Deliciious! Someone before me said it needs more heat & I agree.

This ws really good. We served it over baby spinach for supper, then left overs today put in a pita. The flavors were wonderful. Wil definately make this again, maybe play with the seasonings a little. The cumin goes nicely with the black beans.

This was good--very similar to Poor Man's Caviar, also from this site. I think my boyfriend forgot to add the lime juice, because I ended up adding just a touch more vinegar. I also added hot sauce for a little more bite. We used fresh, raw corn and red pepper instead of canned Mexicorn.

This is a fantastic and healthy recipe. I didn't give it 5 stars only because I used it as a topper for salad with grilled chicken slices. The lime and the black beans make this a great salad!

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes and cucumbers, but the combination of flavors was delicious. This salad would make a great side dish.

Only thing I changed was to leave out the jalapeno and add black olives. A great salad. We ate it "as-is" and then the leftovers as a nacho topping. Very yummy!

I liked it okay, my husband didn't really care for it (he told me he wasn't really a "cold-salad" kind of guy)! I served it over lettuce and gave my daughters ranch dressing. I tasted theirs and liked it better with the ranch. I probably won't make it again. I think it's a great idea, but just doesn't suit our tastes so much!
