I had to try this since all the reviews said they didn't change a thing...which never happens. So I fought off the urge to add more of the dressing...per my daughter. While my DH thought it was "OK" I and everyone else loved it just the way it was written. Healthy and Light. Can't wait to make it for our next pot luck!

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.
