This was good, but we think it needed something else. I mixed it with #7198 sliced poached chicken breasts and added the sauce they made while poaching and this helped the flavor a bit. I think more veggies, spices maybe or a stronger sauce would help as well. I'll try again with changes and re-post.

Truly original and truly delicious. This is one of the most colorful salads I have ever eaten. The glistening black beans looked great against the creamy white of the couscous, offset by the brilliant red of the pepper and the dark green of the cilantro. The yellow of the corn really stand out next to the beans. I only used one can of beans and this was a huge salad. It went quickly, it really complements the taste of grilled meat! Thanks Yooper, this is a winner!

This salad is great- wonderful mix of colour and flavour. I used only one can of beans and it was plenty. I also added 1 heaping tablespoon of Tex-Mex seasoning to give it lots of zing. Will definately make it again.
