Did add chicken, olives and kidney beans instead of black beans and a few other things to make my own. Turned out great!

Made this for a graduation party and it turned out wonderful! I grilled fresh corn on the barbeque and switched the veggie oil for olive oil, both of which really helped the salad pop. I'm actually making again for a family gathering coming up soon.

This was a disappointment. I made the recipe exactly as written, and it was OK, but it was definitely missing something... cheese, I think, but I can't completely put my finger on it. If I were to make it again, I might try putting in some pepperjack cheese, as someone else suggested, but I'm not really sure I'm going to try this again.

I really wanted to like this, it has all the flavors I love, but sadly, I wasn't a huge fan and most of it got thrown out. Thanks for the recipe anyway!

I used this basic recipe, and added the dressing from "Mexican Bean Salad." Love it!

REALLY GOOD! I didn't have any Chili Powder (thought I did) so I had to use Mrs Dash "Caribbean Lime".... the main ingredient was Chili Powder. It ended up being to acidic so I added a fresh jalapeno pepper (with seeds). It balanced out the acidity perfectly! And I'll make it again. I garnished mine with three thin slices of lime wedges! Props to the creators!

Okay I thought this was "pretty good". But not great. Didn't really get any great compliments on it. Probably won't make again.

I've made this many times w/ great success following the recipe as written. Just made again today for a family reunion and know I'll get many requests for the recipe, as I do every time I serve it.

This is delicious--great blend of flavors. For those of you who like a lot of oil/vinaigrette in a pasta salad, you probably won't like this recipe. There is virtually no oil/dressing laying in the bottom of the bowl. The flavors are GREAT. I made it the night before the refrigerated ate, tasting it a few times along the way for salt. I bought fresh bi-color corn, cooked it, and sliced it off the cob. And I used organic heirloom tomatoes. And I doubled the recipe since I took it to a picnic. Will make again!
