This was just okay for me, but I left out the olives, since we don't like them. The texture was perfect though.

I love orzo and I love black beans but did not like this dish. I found that there was way too much cumin in it. The only thing I was able to taste was the cumin.

This was pretty good, just seemed a little bland. The husband didn't like it and the kids were iffy with it too. So, to get them to eat it up I added melted cheese and salsa which gave it more flavor.

I love black bean salads. I felt that it was missing something and needed a little more zing. Not sure what it was missing. Thanks for posting and I'll probably try it again and play around with the seasonings.
