     great recipe, added cucumber and Mrs.Dash garlic and herb salt free for taste instead of cilantro, substitued red wine vinegar for lime juice, great cold salad for the hot summer! - 6/7/11

     Very good. I added cumin and chili powder to spice it up a bit. I served it alongside Boca burgers, Will make again. - 7/7/09

     Fantastic dish. I have made this twice now. I doubled the avocado the second time around. It still came out well. I use fresh corn that I cook in the microwave, let cool, then cut off the cob. I also used Trader Joe's Black Beans because they're not packed in corn syrup like many other brands! - 8/28/12

     This was good, but a bit bland, so I added cumin and chili powder and it was perfect. I also used less cilantro. - 6/8/08

     We loved it. Made exactly as instructed but I'm already thinking about fun variations for this recipe. My only complaint is the prep time is misleading -- took at least 20 minutes to chop all that stuff up. I am forwarding the recipe to my relatives to share! - 7/18/10

     It was a great basic but bland. I added chopped garlic, added cumin, chili powder, balsamic and cayenne pepper...and WHOA was it great with corn chips! I will try that on a Boca or with some chips and grilled chicken. Thank you, CREATIVELIZA! I will make this again and again. - 4/24/11
  • KEYSMAD
     Very Good. I added finely chopped green pepper, garlic salt and only 1.5oz of lime juice. I put it on some tortilla chips and it was a suprisingly filling meal! Next time, I think I will grill a couple of chicken breasts, use this as a side with chips, and it will be a great meal for my family. - 6/8/08

     Didn't do the lime juice...Great recipe! I love this on a hot day. Can be added to grilled chicken for a great burrito filling! - 6/21/11
  • ASH-BRAX
     This was sooo good! I added a little garlic powder. I plan on making this at least once a week! I recommended it to all my friends and family! - 1/22/10

  • ABBYJO71
     I loved this recipe. I used it as a side dish with my portobella mushroom burgers and it was a huge hit. I will make this again and again. - 4/10/08
  • SLASALLE
     I used red onion and added a bit more cilantro for some extra zip. This was very, very good - I almost gave it a 5 star incredible rating. Also very healthy for you with protein, fiber, vegetables and healthy fats. - 4/6/08
  • HAWTGRANNY2014
     I made a few changes. I used lemon instead of lime juice and I added hot banana peppers, chopped to give it more kick. I didn't have any cilantro but it turned out very good. Thanks. I will eat this again. - 9/30/13
  • TOSMITHS2
     Wonderful!! I made a few changes. i am not a cilantro type person so that was omitted. I also don't like fresh onions, but don't mind the dehydrated kind so I used some of that. No limes in the house so added lemon juice and then I added Mrs. Dash. Superb. great in a tortilla or as a side dish. - 1/29/13

     My family didn't really like this...they said they expected it to taste kind of like Cowboy Caviar but it was very bland. Eh, I didn't think it was bad at all but probably won't make it again since the crew didn't like it. Thanks for sharing! - 1/2/13
  • BEKAH3SONS
     Everyone loved it. Did add a tsp of cumin and threw some chopped sweet peppers in - 3/25/17

     Make sure you tell people it has avocado in it, some people were allergic, and it doesn't show up well! - 7/28/15
  • SLOVE2DANCE2381
     Good but improved it by adding 1/2 red pepper- chopped, more tomatoes, a 2nd avocado, cumin for flavoring and 1/2 C cooked quinoa for more protein. I also substituted Mexican corn vs. regular and used low sodium black beans. Not only drained but also rinsed beans and corn. - 2/1/15

     I just made this and it is oh so yummy. I followed the recipe exactly and I dont think I would change a thing about it. It is awesome. Thanks.. I we be certainly making this again. - 8/3/14

     I make this, but I found if you grill your corn (take off husk, and put in foil, right on the girll for 10 minutes turning) then cut the corn, it really adds more flavor to this recipe. I get more compliments on it!! Also a tsp of honey! - 8/25/13
  • CD13941679
     Wonderful flavor and popular even with a few kids! I will certainly fix this again. - 8/12/13

     I make this without avacado and cilantro, but add a variety of beans, Kidney beand, Great Northern , limas whatever, plus add peppers and use Balsamic vinegar in place of lime juice - 1/11/13
