Reviews
I LOVE IT!!
I was disappointed in this recipe because I seen so many 5 star reviews. I used black beans and chick peas. I felt it needed more flavor, maybe I should have made some more salad dressing. I love all of the ingredients but just seem to be missing something, rather bland even with the cumin. If I did it again I would make a little more dressing and add another ear of corn.
Omg- this was outstanding. This was a great salad for my vegetarian friends.
Looks beautiful and tastes amazing! Definitely going into our everyday meal plans!
This is delicious! I didn’t grill the corn I just used frozen and let it thaw slightly. Still tasted great!
Love, Love, Love it! Thanks, I miss see y’all on tv.
this is the literal bomb salad, so easy to make, so many flavors!!
This salad is so perfect.
Loved it !!!!
Excellent brown rice salad…..so healthy…..
I really wanted to give this recipe five stars. The only reason I didn’t was because I felt it needed more of certain ingredients. I always try to make the recipe to the letter because it’s unfair to critique it otherwise. I will make this again, however I would add more cumin, or cumin seed, I’ll use both green and red onion, more garlic and more cilantro. I didn’t have the issue with the beans being soggy as others did. Overall, a great recipe. I’ll definitely make it again.
