I made this recipe for my daughters Mexican-Fiesta birthday. It was very good. I will make it again.

Really enjoyed this recipe. Very filling and tasty,I served as a main course salad, but would also be an wonderful side dish for a Mexican style meal. I definitely will make again. Might try some crushed chips on top to add a little crunch as someone suggested.

This was surprisingly tasty and filling. The black beans were a perfect taste at the end of the dish.

I made this for my daughter to take to work and everyone loved it. She said it was gone before anyone could have seconds. It is beautiful when finished and I used mayo and not salad dressing. It did not get soggy and the dressing was put on a hour before the party. I'll make this again and again.....

My family thinks this is the best salad I have ever made. If you anticipate leftovers....do not put the dressing on the salad, but on the side. It tends toget soggy lettuce. Otherwise....GREAT!

Yum! Added the tortilla chips on top & think this really made the salad. I used mayo instead of Miracle Whip for the dressing & it tasted just fine.

My husband and I loved this salad. I will definitely make it again, maybe the next time we have company over. It reminded me of some of the "chop-chop" salads I've had at restaurants.

I made this salad substituting crushed tortilla chips instead of avacado on top. It was a huge hit at a family picnic and I was asked to double the recipe next time!
