Tasty and great for a group gathering. I made this for a cook-out and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I took absolutely nothing home, the dish was washed and empty. I highly recommend this for home or functions. Only change I made was adding fresh garlic. Great dish:)

I love this recipe so much! I'm a college student and so my money situation is kind of tight this recipe is very wallet friendly and makes a LOT not to mention how easy it is to prepare. I Like to make this along with the Triple-Corn Squares with Bean Sauce, it makes a nice refreshing side salad to the sweet cornbread and beans. This Mexican Bean Salad also is great because the leftovers can be used as salsa on top of tacos, nachos, and omelettes.. the possibilities are endless!
