This was very good! I used the olive oil and left out the carrot. I loved the lime and cumin combined. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag Game 2010.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful and easy to put together-recipe! The flavor was so good, and the different tastes/flavors blended extremely well. We love cumin but I only had the whole seeds on hand so that is what I used, just a dash or two. Wonderful!!

This is excellent! It made a really great picnic lunch today. I mixed all the ingredients except the lettuce together, and added that when we were ready to eat. I did top my salad with some corn chips and thought it made a really great crunchy addition. I think this would make a great taco filling also. Thanks for another great black bean recipe!
