i made this for a little picnic and it was just perfect!  unfortunately i didnt have any cilantro, but i used some fresh sage instead.  i just LOVE cliantro and think it would be the perfect spice along with the beans and lime.

This is one of my favorite salads.  I only use 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and the juice of three limes instead of two.  I also add a chopped orange bell pepper and a finely minced, fresh, large jalapeño instead of the red pepper flakes....muy bueno!

I followed the recipe just as it was, and the wonderful mix of lime, cumin, cilantro and tomatoes was wonderful!!  This makes a beautiful salad.

I used a little too much lime and forgot the cumin b/c I accidently got curry.  Also, i substituted fire roasted diced tomatoes for the cherry kind.  Still, its a great protein rich summer salad!

I made this for dinner for my boyfriend's mom and her new man...It was a big hit!

I used about a 60/40 blend of quinoa and white rice, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The two limes I used yielded A LOT of juice (almost 1/4 cup!) and I felt that it overpowered the flavor a bit. Perhaps just a few teaspoons would have been the perfect amount....in any case, it was delicious. It made enough leftovers for several at-work lunches, which were even better as the flavors developed over the next few days.
