It was OK at best for me. Personally I thought it was too sweet, definitely would NOT add the sugar next time. If I do make this again I would add more of the other spices, definitely more cumin and even some garlic powder.

Awesome. I added sliced grape tomatoes and some purple onion. But only did that for personal preference. Also, I made this for a crowd of 28 and it was a breeze to make with the nifty calculator. EVERYone loved it. Thanks!

Tasty

The dressing is fantastic. I've made this several times, and prefer to add a little pico de gallo to the mixture to use the the recipe as a bean salsa (a little chopped tomato would work well, too). It's great served with tortilla chips.

I used (from Trader Joe's) the roasted corn (frozen food section) and the canned Cuban black beans. I made the dressing but only used the balsamic, oil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Because I used the spiced black beans I didn't really need the cumin & chili powder. I also added fresh lemon juice and some red pepper flakes...and WOW. This was awesome! I topped it with chopped fresh tomato and avocado. The roasted corn gives it another zing. My sister and I polished off the whole batch ourselves. A definite winner.

This was an ok recipe, not bad at all. I prefere different versions of the Black Bean Salads. I had four guests to dinner and not much was said and not much of it ate. I think it was the balsalmic vinegar, atleast for me, I didnt favor it much with the mixture. I would eat it again, but I prefere a more Texas version of this. Thanks for the recipe though.

I made this for a cowboy birthday party and people loved it! It has a really nice flavor and so easy to make!

It's basically an oil vinegar dressing on corn & beans. To make this a real salad, I tossed it with greens and cherry tomatoes

I'm giving this 4 stars because my husband absolutely loved this salad. I thought the balsamic vinegar was too strong so I wasn't impressed. Because the husband loved it, I will make it again but will scale back on the vinegar and add some bell peppers.

This is a tasty quick salad to make. I have made a couple changes to suit our tastes. I add approx a quarter cup of finely chopped red onion, half a cup of red peper and spice it up by substituting the regular chilli powder for Chipotle Chilli pepper...delicious!

This is awesome. I did follow another user's suggestion and added some diced red onion.

Loved it! This is a wonderful (and super-easy) summer side dish. We added some left-over grilled chicken, which was also good.

I tried this recipe today and it is great. Thank You

This was great. I added black eyed peas and red onions..very tasty.

Very, very good. I made a few changes... grilled 2 ears of fresh corn instead of using canned, and also cut up 2 grilled green onions to mix with the beans & corn. (Also used homemade beans, which always helps!) In addition, misread the recipe and stirred the cilantro right into the dressing instead of using as a garnish, but since I was serving it right away instead of refridgerating it didn't matter. Finally, added the zest & juice of one lime to the balsamic mixture, which added a nice depth of flavor. However, the key to this recipe is the spice combination, which is right on... I will be using this dressing a lot!

Fantastic!!!!!! I added grape tomatos. It was a hit my family and I have made it several times since.

Strong but very good. My brother thought it would be better categorized as a relish. I like it just as it is.
