This is a great addition to my summer salad repetoire! There's so many different ways to mix and match, and it's fantastic as a salad topper with grilled chicken. Healthy and so delicious!! Can't beat that!

OMG - really, really delicious!! I doubled this recipe to take to a cookout. I used only 1/3 cup oil (as stated in this recipe the oil would be WAY too much) and 1/3 cup fresh lime juice. I used 8 ears of fresh corn and 3 cans of black beans. I also used red onion very finely diced in place of the green onion. I kept the salt to 1 tsp despite doubling the recipe. Left out the cilantro. Finally, I took several reviewers' suggestions to increase the garlic (used 4 cloves), add 1 tsp cumin and to use halved grape tomatoes. It was beautiful, healthy and got rave reviews. The avocado does get squishy and brown as do the tomatoes so it is best to make this the day you will serve it.

This salad was a huge hit, easy to make and exceptionally tasty. The lime dressing was the kicker. My guests asked me for the recipe. Kudos! I have had a lot of black bean salads but this one will surely go to the top of my list. I'm not a pepper girl, so I omitted those.

Amazing! It just tastes so summery and fresh! I took other reviewers advice and used less olive oil. It turned out great.

If I could recommend just one recipe ever, it would be this one. This salad is unbelievably delicious, I have made it many times and will make it many more. I sometimes vary the quantities of the ingredients but it comes out perfect each time. The cilantro and lime juice are key. I eat it as a salad but have also used it as an accompaniment to nachos (like salsa). Once I added it to chicken pieces and sour-cream in tortillas to make a burrito of sorts (used a slotted spoon to drain most of the liquids). This salad is so, so good!

This was really good. I used fresh/organic ingredients like an ear of corn as a opposed to the frozen corn and I used less oil than the recipe required. Came out perfect. Thanks for sharing.

This is one of the BEST recipes I have ever had. I don't use oil at all...I simply don't drain the tomatoes, (I use Rotel), I don't use salt at all. I use fresh lime juice and some Adobe. Fresh lime juice and cilantro makes the difference in this recipe. I hope all who try this enjoy the recipe. I enjoy it more the next day.
