I found that the salad was a bit dry. I would recommend adding more dressing or some kind of sauce.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or omitting it altogether.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I substituted Greek yogurt in this recipe. It worked perfectly and made the salad much healthier.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bag of frozen corn and a few cans of beans in my pantry, so this is a quick and easy meal to throw together.
