QETH .... a quick, easy, tasty and healthy middle eastern dish. NOTE: I agree with reviewers that this salad needs to be kicked-up-a notch, so I've made some revisions as of 7/1/09.

I have made this recipe so many times I can't even count. It is so simple, delicious, refreshing, and SO healthy! I usually throw in ingredients that I have on hand, but the original recipe is my absolute favorite. Cilantro, red onions, cumin, corn, black beans.... mmm it is so tasty! Thank you for sharing!

This makes a fantastic side dish! I've also ate it alone for lunch and it's very filling!

I made this exactly as posted, but was a little confused on the amount of black beans, so I ended up using just one 16-oz. can. That seemed to be the right amount. I used tricolor couscous and ended up with a very colorful salad. I also added the tomato, jalapeno and feta. This made a nice lunch, and I'm sure I will be making this again. It would also be a good side dish at your next barbecue. Made for ZWT6.
