This was very good and receives lots of compliments, but gets 4 stars as written. It's a 4.5 star with the following: The chicken step is a lot of work. If your local market sells fresh, cooked chicken, mix it with the cup of BBQ sauce and it saves a lot of time. Unless you really LOVE bell peppers, 4 bell peppers is a lot. So if you just LIKE bell peppers, reduce to 2 or 3 peppers and you'll have PLENTY. I substituted celery for the remaining amount of peppers and it adds a lot. I jullienned my jicama and it wilted by serving time. If serving cold, there are a few things that don't hold that well: Jicama and the cilantro. I'd suggest saving out at least some of the cilantro (since it does add a lot of flavor during the chill) and all of the jicama until closer to serving time.If you add a bit of green onion, it also helps to freshen the look of the salad. Finally, my impression was that it was a little too sweet (might depend on your BBQ sauce), so I added some lime mixed with a bit of water, olive oil, salt and pepper to add a slight citrus dimension -- about 1/3 of a cup of this lime vinagrette. Next time, I'll probably just whisk some lime just into the mayo before adding it into the salad. Makes a ton of food.

My husband and I both loved this dish! I used what I had onhand - red pepper, frozen corn, and cilantro. I skipped the black beans, jicima, and red onion only because I didn't have the ingredients. I was looking for a light summer dish - and this was perfect! I look forward to making it the next time we have friends over for dinner.

Had this last night. Yum! We did change the whole wheat pasta for regular shell pasta. The kids love it also. I thought they all would of turn there noses up on it. Thanks for the recipe nenithel
