Salsa Salad image

This is a fresh and delicious salad for lunch or a smaller version before supper. My DS and DIL omit the lettuce and use it as a side dish with grilled meats. I've brought it in a big bowl to parties and everyone raves.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious!

I'm not a huge fan of black beans, so I substituted them with kidney beans. It turned out great!
