South-West Salad With Corn and Black Beans image

A recipe from the book of Splenda. I tried it and it's quite yummy. I omitted the green peas so I used 1 cup of chickpeas. I also omitted the cumin, and fresh coriander.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out very well. It was too watery and the flavors didn't blend well.

This salad is a great base recipe. I've made it several times and I always add different ingredients to change it up.

I found this salad to be a bit too sweet. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more spices or a different dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of corn, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is really good and it brings all the flavors together.

I've made this salad several times and it's always delicious. I love the way the sweetness of the corn and the smokiness of the black beans complement each other.
