The dressing for this salad is a bit too oily for my taste. I would use less olive oil next time.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some chopped cilantro or jalapeƱo to give it a little kick.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet corn and black beans, and they don't even notice the spinach.

This salad is a great make-ahead lunch option. I like to pack it in a container with some extra dressing on the side. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken and rice. I also like to add a can of corn and some chopped red bell pepper for extra color and crunch.
