I am normally a green leaf type of salad person, but I wanted to try something new. I used some frozen corn that I had instead of the can corn that it called for. I let the corn thaw out a bit while I cooked the rice. This was a great tasting salad, but next time I think I will try it with wild rice. For health reasons I need to stay away from white rice. This is a keeper-Thanks!

As is, this salad is a little bland. After trying it exactly as written and finding it lacking in flavor, I added more cumin and a couple shakes of cayenne pepper. This greatly improved the flavor, and made this salad delicious! I also used regular salsa instead of picante sauce and frozen corn instead of canned. Altogether, with these changes, this is a salad I would make again!

This made a very refreshing summer salad. I replaced the canned corn with fresh kernels from one cooked ear of corn. I had no picante sauce, so I substituted enchilada sauce. I think I may have also used more rice than the recipe called for (didn't measure), but it all turned out good.
