Even people who don't like beans compliment me on this delicious salad! It's a favorite at family get-togethers and potlucks. The slimmed-down dressing gets little kick from cilantro and lime. Teresa Smith of Huron, South Dakota

Love this salad! I added cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives, plus a little Italian seasoning.

I tweaked this a bit and added salsa, cumin and chili powder...it was delicious.

I was not thrilled with this recipe. In addition, it takes much longer than 15 minutes to fix.

This was delicious. I made it with whole wheat pasta to add to the nutrition value. This is a great side dish to chicken. I'll definitely make it again. In fact, I am taking it to work tomorrow, for a holiday celebration.

Perhaps I can clear up the confusing way the directions are written.The first sentence of the second paragraph - "Transfer to a food processor." (there should be a period instead of a comma after the word "processor.") - refers to the broth and garlic mixture, after it is slightly cooled.The word "All" immediately following after the incorrect comma is a typo and should read: Add 1/4 cup black beans, etc.The rest I think is clear enough. BTW, I tried this recipe and liked it well enough to try it again with some tweaking.

This recipe is incomplete. No mention of the chicken broth after 1st paragraph. Then, the last paragraph is confusing.
