I love this salad. It's fresh and different. I make it a lot in the summer and serve it with grilled foods.

This recipe just seemed to be missing something. Not bad, but I won't ever make it again.

Great salad. My whole family loved it. The kids aren't fond of black beans, so I substituted kidney beans. I omited the jalapenos altogether. I did add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Delicious!

I love this salad, it is better the older it gets! I use dried Cilantro instead of fresh, it is sometimes hard to get really fresh Cilantro at the grocery and I also use celery powder since it is a waste to buy a whole bunch of celery for 1 stalk.
