I rocked your recipe (added rice) and my husbands Polish aunties were all talking about it! They have a recipe for 'Santa Fe' salad with similar ingredients - but I really think it's the lime that does the trick (vs. orange or lemon juice) so I kept that part to myself! Thank you for the bad-ass recipe! I am a loyal subscriber, now! p.s. here's a photo of my version: http://www.flickr.com/photos/crystalynkae/4433523875/in/set-72157623497616723/ I am SUPER late to the party but on a whim I scoured your blog first for a recipe for a bridal shower, because honestly – your pretty food does not disappoint.

I highly recommend. The overall flavor isn't incredibly strong, so it is great as a side dish. It's a great protein option for vegetarians (like myself). And it works wonderfully alone as a side dish, inside a tortilla, scooped up in a tortilla chip, or sprinkled with grated cheese. I am intrigued to try the idea of putting in chopped mango. I think cherry tomatoes or diced cucumber would also go well in this salad. The beautiful photographs really enticed me to try cooking this.

Congrats on the baby again, that picture of him nestled in someones arms just takes my breath away. I just made the salad and boy was I floored! So I'm a quarter mexican (and that gives me authority -ha!) but I have never tasted a concoction soooo perfect for a tortilla chip. No seriously, this is the perfect recipe to bring to a party! I'm going to repost the recipe on my blog early next week! Deb!! Congrats on the baby again, that picture of him nestled in someones arms just takes my breath away.

It adds a lovely sweetness. I use the salad many ways: as a side dish for any grilled protein, as a filler for an omelette, and when it's almost gone I puree it and use it as a bean dip. Yum!!! Deb, I love your blog. You have a wonderful way of communicating, and your photos are beautiful. I make a similar salad and add chopped mango. It adds a lovely sweetness.

It was really quite good. We are not huge bell pepper fans (we had some left over from fajitas) so I put less in. I put in extra lime and a lot of cilantro (because I love both so much). My husband and I both liked it; had it as a side salad for dinner, snack with tortilla chips and put a little into our breakfast burritos the next morning. Thanks! I just tried this recipe last week.

I've been in such a rut lately food-wise and this salad was just what we needed to wake up. I made it over the 4th of July weekend and we loved it. We, being cilantro lovers, loaded it up with the stuff. Fantastic! It was a side dish the first day, a sandwich topping the next, and lastly, I mixed the leftovers with buttered rice and a little bit of garlic two nights later for a Cuban influenced side dish. This one is a keeper. Thank you so much for this recipe. I’ve been in such a rut lately food-wise and this salad was just what we needed to wake up.

I use a can of black beans, chick peas (Goya), and butter beans, then season with salt pepper, add lemon juice, olive oil, and cilantro. Sometimes I add tomato too and definately eat it with chips. It always tastes better after it's been in the 'frig over night. Thanks so much for sharing and posting such lovely pcitures :) I make a similar salad all summer long.

Corn is coming into season and I used to make a rice based salad that had black beans and corn and thought that might be good with this dressing as well. Hmmmm, additions are addictive.
