I made this to use some fresh produce I had been given. I didn't expect to enjoy it very much as I'm not a huge fan of raw tomatoes, raw onion, and cilantro. However, this was a huge hit and I even enjoyed it a lot myself! I made some changes just based on what I had, I just used yellow corn, fresh tomatoes, white onion and added a jalapeno and left out the avocado. I used lemon juice instead of lime and added the oil while I was blending a bit of jalapeno together with the lemon juice to add more of a dressing of sorts to it. It was lovely. Everyone really enjoyed it and it was very easy to put together!

Not a huge fan of beans, but this is great! And healthy! I did follow some of the other reviews and added 2 packets of taco seasoning and garbanzo beans. I had tomatoes on hand, so I used them instead of canned (took me about 2 1/2 to make it the consistency I like). I also skipped the onion due to personal preference. I planned on adding jalapeno for spice but decided to add sriracha (my weakness) instead, and it took quite a bit, to get it to my spicy level, but its good. I wish I had another avocado to add, and I did add 2/3 c lime juice and a little extra olive oil. Bringing it to a work potluck tomorrow, but I don't care if no one likes it, because I have no guilt eating this very healthy snack!

Excellent salsa! I made a few modifications. I only used 1 can of black beans (seasoned), and 1 can of sweet corn. I added a fresh diced tomato instead of canned, and a jalapeño pepper for some kick. I omitted the onions, and bell peppers, olive oil and since my boys don't like avocado I served the avocado on the sided sliced with a pinch of cayenne pepper and fresh lime juice. YUM!

My Super Bowl Hit- After reading reviews, I used 1 can of original Rotel tomatoes instead of tomatoes in directions, plus 1 heaping teaspoon of Penzey's Arizona Dreaming spice blend (salt free taco seasoning). I let salsa sit overnight in the refrigerator and then I added the avocado right before serving. People ate as a salsa dip, as a side salad, and luckily for me they even enjoyed with the slower cooker chicken tortilla soup (also from this website). Will make again soon and thanks for the great recipe! Oh- Used Bush’s black beans: 1 can seasoned black beans and 1 can regular black beans. Couldn’t tell a difference but had to see, right?

Halved the recipe and used 1 small can Rotel with chilis and one small can of "summer crisp" corn. One can of black beans instead of two. Did not add avocado, green onion or olive oil. Used all the juice of one lime. Added a little salt, pepper, cumin, and red pepper. Took one bite and said "Wow!" Everyone loved it! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!

So delicious and healthy! I've made this twice in the past week and have received rave reviews (and a lot of "can you email me the recipe?")

OMG! This is great! It was much better than I expected and all that I hoped for. Also very fresh and filling. We added a tablespoon of tobasco hot sauce to give it a little kick which was great and not at all over powering. This was supposed to be the appetizer but it was so good it became the main focus at dinner time. My family loved it.
