This is awesome. I added 1 diced jalapeno, and it made 4 servings. (too good to divide into such small portions!). I will make this often.

This is delish! What a great salad at only 1 gram of fat. I made it with regular onions and added a dash of tobasco sauce to it but otherwise followed exactly! Thanks for a keeper.

Great with some garden-fresh tomatoes chopped and added into the salad.

Although I think this salad would really shine with fresh corn, it was very tasty and easy to make. It's a great dish to prepare a party since it has to be made in advance. I served it with Chipotle Roast for Tacos & Sandwiches, Smokey Black Bean Chipotle Dip, Chicken Tacos and Mexican-Style Fruit Salad. It was a great addition to the menu, and many people actually added it as a filling to their tacos instead of eating it on the side. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is a great salad and we really enjoyed it. I made it to serve as a side dish with enchiladas. Perfect! I am not fond of fresh cilantro but I used dried cilantro instead and it worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Amazing flavor from relatively few ingredients. I was a little concerned this would be too tangy but the sweetness of the corn and the mellow smoothness of the beans counteract the lime perfectly.

This has become a regular treat in our home. It is so fresh tasting and colorful. I usually have to double the recipe to get it to last more than a day. I did notice that I can serve it even if I wait only and hour after mixing the ingredients. Once I tried adding extra cilantro but that was a flop. This recipe is perfect as is!

We love it. I've made it the past two weeks and eaten it almost everyday for lunch. I added extra cumin, cayenne pepper and jalapeno because we like things spciy. It is very filling and satisfying. Thanks!!

I used 1 can corn, 1 can beans, 1/3 c scallions, 1/4 c cilantro, 2+ Tb lime juice, 1 tsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. I reduced the cumin because I've often found it to be too overpowering in black bean and corn salads, and I think I did the right thing. I LOVE this salad, especially with a liberal dash of Tabasco Chipotle hot sauce.
