WOW..!! I just made this salad and it taste wonderful freshly made, I can't wait to taste it after it sits overnight. It has to be heavenly. I know I'm pushing it as a summer salad since it's not summer yet but dang it, this salad would be great any time of the year and the ingredients are readily available any time. Too bad there's not more stars to give it 'cause I would if I could..Thank you Lvs2cook, youve got a winner here.

This is a very very nice salad with a WONDERFUL flavor..it is colorful.. I did have to adapt a wee bit.. I had no canned corn (except for cream stylle) Soooo I used frozen that I measured in the bean can..a little less than half of the can added this to the beans in my colinder and rinsed both..worked wonderfully..and seemed tobe the perfect balance there is a HUGE problem with this recipe..be warned it seems to disappear I doubled this recipe because I was taking it to our church lunchen after services. it was the 1st thing gone was so nice to take something that was so easy... colorful..and very tasty...& not the usual church lunchen stuff.... I've already been asked to please make this again for our next one and many wanted the recipe.. more than the 10 copies I had printed and taken with me.. so a big big BIG hit with all and a recipe I will be making many times so Lvs2Cook a big thank you from me to you for making me look so good to my church family made this again to take to a family gathering last night...AGAIN it was gone 1st..and it isn't because I make small amounts....I doubled it both times...wonderful Easy GREAT tasting....I did stay with the frozen corn as I feel it works great for me AND it is what I buy and have handy..love all the textures in it too..try this one you will love it

A family favorite! Sometimes I add jack cheese in a tiny dice.

I just brought this salad to a company luncheon and EVERYONE loved it. Several people asked for the recipe. I used fat free dressing for a healthier version and no one even noticed. Although it looks like it might be quite spicy, it has just the right amount of kick.
