I made this and it turned out to be a big hit! It does make quite a bit and we ate off of it for quite a few days, so I was able to come up with ways to serve it differently. (lettuce w/shredded chicken/of course the chicken was leftover also, Frito's, nachos & salsa w/cheese) This was a very versatile dish and I see us having it again.

Although it has Mexican flavoring, this dish is not spicy. It is perfect for the kids, or anyone who doesn't like a lot of strong flavor. My husband and I just added a few drops of hot sauce to ours to give it some punch. We added some shredded chicken (rotiserie works great) so it was a one-dish dinner. You could easily add corn and black beans. We subbed the kidney for pinquitos in sauce, just because we like it better. This makes a unique, easily transported potluck dish- very yummy!

This recipe makes quite a bit of salad, but it does not last long in our house. This is absolutely delicious!!!

I love trying new recipes. I am alone so decided to make this for our church lunch. It was really very good. I also shared with other friends and they loved it too. The only thing I changed was I mixed refried beans with the dressing ingredients because some of the teans do not like beans. I learned this trick when making taco dip for my family. Some of the kids don't like beans so I mix the refried beans with the base ingredients and they still don't know the difference. Anyway, this salad is well worth the time it takes to make it.

I read the reviews on this recipe and it sounded so good, but I was dissapointed with the results. I did not taste the lyme as much as I would have liked to and so I added more, but it seemed to dissapear. The flavors were to jumbled and I love mexican food. Not bad, but not one of my favorites.

I made this for my ladies mah jongg club. What a hit. I served it with cornbread with honey butter and shrimp with cocktail sauce. Plan to make this recipe often during the summer bbq season.

This was awsom. We simply love everything in it. The combinations of ingredients and the liquid factor is perfect. I will be making this for my family and friends. I would not add or change a thing in this recipe.
