I found the salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

The dressing is a bit too tangy for my taste, but overall this is a good salad.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of black beans, roasted corn, avocado, and quinoa was delicious and refreshing. I also appreciated that it was a relatively healthy dish, since I'm trying to eat better these days.
