I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really watery.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've added black beans, corn, and even mango to it before.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before my party and it was even better the next day.

I had a hard time finding hominy, so I used corn instead. It was still delicious.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley in this recipe. It turned out great!

This salad is perfect for a hot summer day. It's light and refreshing, and the lime dressing is the perfect finishing touch.

I love the addition of the avocado and black beans. They add a creamy texture and a boost of protein.

This salad is so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken or ground beef.
