Wow - what a great recipe! I only used 1 jalepeno, and I substituted purple onion for the green onions as suggested. I only added about 1/3 cup cilantro and I quartered a whole container of grape tomatoes instead of large ones. I used Newman's oil and vinegar dressing and added a bit of balsamic vinegar too, also dashed a bit of tex mex seasoning and used 2 cloves of garlic (minced) instead of garlic salt. I then cooked up some breaded chicken breasts, sliced them up, put some on some sun dried tomatoe tortilla's threw on some shredded cheese, a few dollaps of sour cream, and a whole bunch of the bean salad - wrapped it up and holy cow what a great dinner! Full of protein and so filling! I think I would dice 2 avacados next time...thanks!

Excellent recipe, although I used 1/2 cup cilantro. I made it for a birthday party where they were serving tacos, nachos, etc this went well with the meal. Everyone complimented it and I gave the recipe to 2 people. Thanks.

I really loved this! Tasted good after some time in the fridge. This was easy to make. I added some jalapeno for an extra kick.

Very fresh and delicious, though the title is misleading. It was more like a fresh salsa than a bean salad. I would have given it 5 stars, but there was so much chopping involved, it took two of us over half an hour, not just 20 minutes like it says. The end result was worth it, however. I used a red onion instead of the green onions and only half a jalapeno. I also used a fresh red bell pepper instead of pimetos. I'm going to make huevos rancheros with it for dinner. Very delicious and will crave this again.
