Yum! I used a red onion because that was what I had on hand and boy, did it make the salad look pretty. It does taste better the second day, but I couldn't stop eating it after I mixed in the lime juice.

Really healthy and fresh. I used a can of black beans and a can of small white beans and about 1c of leftover steamed edamame. Used 2 ears of leftover corn cut off the cob, and used the zest and juice of a lime with the olive oil. I also used red onion as my onion of choice. Very light and refreshing salad....travels well and did not need to worry about a mayo based salad on a hot day. Will make again. Thanks!

This is delicious! I used garbanzo beans instead and also added in a bit of crushed red pepper, garlic powder (want to try minced garlic next time) and some goat cheese. It was so yummy!

Once again out of consideration for Hubs' sensitive innards, I switched celery for the corn. Normally I rate recipes higher than he does but on this occasion that was reversed. He found this a lot more palatable than I did. As for me, I didn't think it all that enhanced from the regular ol' can of beans. Also, I didn't care for the lime juice here and would have preferred lemon. Extra vegetables would have been nice for flavor and interest as well as some seasoning - fresh herbs maybe, garlic salt or fresh garlic. An okay starting point, but that's about it, at least for me.

every time I make this, at least 1 person asks for my recipe. It's seriously PERFECT for a hot summer day! And the basil is the best part!! Make sure you use fresh. It just won't work if you don't!!

Didn't have light read beans, so I used dark kidney beans. Added a little more corn than called for and a can of "italian" diced tomatoes with some fresh cherry tomatoes. I thought the salad was great. I needed a lot of salt and pepper for my taste and my husband thought the onion was a little too much, but my 11 month old ate it up, my 5 year old picked around the tomatoes, but liked the rest. Great flavors!

Delicious! I was hunting through looking for a recipe to have with lamb chops and this was perfect. I used four bean mix and it was a wonderful side dish.

Very easy and delicious recipe. I substituted red onions, lemon istead of lime (although I would stick with the lime) and cilantro instead of basil because that is what I had on hand and it was yummy. I'll definitely make it again.

Delicious! I have been using allrecipes.com for years, and this is only the third recipe I have rated 5 stars. This is unbelievably good considering the simple ingredients. The fresh lime juice and basil are key. I used fresh corn, cherry tomatoes, and basil from my garden. What a wonderful way to use up summer garden bounty. I made it once with fresh chives from my garden instead of onion, and it was wonderful.
