This protein-filled dish could be served as a colorful side dish or a meatless main entree. When you make it, double the recipe because it will be gone in a flash! The basmati rice add a unique flavor and the dressing gives it a bit of a tang.

I made a double batch of this on vacation last summer and served it with tortilla chips. I had to make another double batch the next afternoon. Everybody loved this healthy snack coming in off the beach!

With corn coming out of our ears, I made this for a party and wow! Everyone loved it. I can go so far to say that this is the best corn salad that I have ever made.

I made this for a luncheon and it was loved by all! I had extra all week, and added it to salad and gazpacho soup. My friends requested copies of this recipe. It was simply really delicious and super easy.

This is very tasty. Brought this to a potluck and when we got home all three of my kids ate some. I was surprised. I might make this for lunches, too. I want to decrease the oil next time. I had good success using my rice steamer to make the rice (very few clumps).

Fabulous! We left out the cilantro and it is still great!

This is so refreshing. Delicious side to the steaks I made on the grill. I alter this recipe a little bit - to make it healthier I use brown rice. I leave out the cilantro because I just don't like it. Would I make this again? I think I make it every week!

This stuff rocks! My husband could not stay out of it. When you make it, double the recipe because it will be gone in a flash!

Cool beans salad was easy and fun to make. I doubled the recipe for a potluck dish. The only thing I did that was different was to reduce the number of green onions. I think the green onions I can get in upstate NY are bigger than the ones the recipe intends us to use! I would certainly make this again. It is appealing to the eye and the taste buds.

This was a huge hit at a summertime salad themed potluck.

Thought this looked interesting and took it too a family get together. Everyone really liked it and many asked for the recipe. This is great for a BBQ side or potluck. I'm thinking couscous or quinoa or brown rice could easily be substituted for the basmati rice. Definately keeping this recipe.

Delicious! The dressing was just perfect. I got many compliments on this dish. The rice could clump up if not mixed with the dressing right away but it was not a big deal to separate rice grains with two forks (may mix just the rice with the dressing first and then mix in the other ingredients). This recipe is a keeper!
