Mmm this is very tasty and very easy to make. I used more olives, cilantro (cilantro rules!), and green onion as I am a BIG fan and used less of the beans than the recipe called for to suite my tastes.

My apologies Jess but I ended up making an abridged version of your lovely salad. I used Yukon Golds as that is what I have. I had intended to skip the corn from tagging as I'm not the worlds biggest corn fan and However I was going to use the olives and green onion. I can't find any olives in the house and the green onions I had I needed to toss (tomorrow is monthly shopping day). So, I ended up with potato's in the taco dressing and I must say that they taste great! :D

Red potatoes are my favorite, so I just had to try this out. It has a really nice flavor, and I really enjoyed the way the sweetness of the corn melded with the dressing flavor. The only thing I omitted was the cilantro, since I don't care for it. I'll be making this again! This was made for Fall 2007 PAC.
