This is a quick and easy salad. Very good! -
It sounds like I'm not the only one who usually makes this with bell pepper instead of celery. It's yummy and very filling for being so low-fat. One thing I add to perk up the flavor even more is a tablespoon (or more) of red wine vinegar--it does something wonderful to the black beans, and makes the leftovers really good. -
I love this salad! The only thing I do different is use a little chopped green pepper instead of the celery. This is such a refreshing sald. I make it every time we have Mexican food as a side dish. Thanks for the recipe.

At first this was a bit bland, but I added a splash of balsamic and red wine vinegar. I also used frozen corn, (Thawed out not cooked). Though I prefer red onion, I did not have any left in the fridge :( so I used 1/2 a white onion. Topped with a dollop of hot salsa....it was delicious! A must to try! Thank you Mimi for posting this....Marmie

It's actually one of the best bean salad recipes I've made so far. I've kept the celery and added a whole green pepper. I've also replaced the salsa with the tomatoes. Very, very good.

This is great, but I add fresh tomatoes instead of salsa, and leave out the celery. I also add a dash of balsamic vinegar - love this!! I use white corn, and it is fabulous, I use a whole bunch of cilantro b/c I love the flavor it gives! -

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
