A splash of lime juice brightens and binds all the flavors in this salad that's chock-full of good-for-you ingredients and fresh herbs. The perfect potluck dish for summer outings! I like to use roasted or grilled fresh corn. —Jennifer Wickes, Pine Beach, New Jersey

Excellent salad. I added fresh, diced zucchini to the recipe. I also decreased the sesame oil to 1 Tblsp + 1 tsp while increasing the rice vinegar and lime juice by 1 tsp each. I did this so it wouldn't be quite as oily while retaining the flavor. It helped cut about 90 calories for the entire recipe (23 less calories per serving) and was fabulous!

I love this recipe; it was easy to make and easy to keep in the fridge as a pull out dish on heart summer nights and better after a few days anyway

Delicious. I added some sesame seeds and cucumbers because I wanted to use them up and I tossed everything except the corn and beans in the food processor to make quick work of the chopping. This was delicious.

very yummy. I used frozen grated gingerroot so next time I'll do fresh as I felt the ginger flavor was barely there.

This salad was delicious! It makes a great nutritious lunch. The sesame oil really gives it a nice flavor. I will definitely make again. Next time though, I want to try scallions or a red onion instead of a regular yellow onion.

My husband was disappointed at first when I told him I'd made a different black bean and corn salad than the southwestern one he likes so much....until he tasted this one and now he swears it's his new favorite!

I recently started "clean eating" and when I came across this recipe I knew I had to try it. I didn't cook the corn, just threw it in the bowl frozen. I also had to substitute lemon for lime juice. It's definitely a salad I'll be making again!
