I knew I would like this, but the shocker was that my husband (a meat and potatoes kind of guy)loved it too!

I add grilled chicken, even better than without the chicken

Loved this salad! I added ground taco meat, corn and cilantro. This was so good! My 5 year old ate it, too. It was a refreshing summer dinner. I loved how quick and easy it was.

Loved it and would recommend adding the corn and cilantro. I would even serve this as a side for a small dinner party.

I am always cooking a pot of beans for the week to try and decrease our consumption of red meats. This recipe helped me to make use of the leftover beans for another meal.

Very good! I would add lime juice and maybe serve this over some rice like a burrito bowl. Overall, very tasty!
