I am a big salad eater. I don't know if this would serve 12 at my house. We are not big corn eaters though. Swap all or some of them for some chopped peppers and maybe olives and onions. I love fresh cilantro. The lime and cilantro dressing is refreshing.

were the cheesecake part lol

Hello?? Look at the picture of the recipe and read the ingredients!! The picture does not go with the recipe!!!

The picture has breaded chicken, mandarin oranges & pecans. The recipe calls for black beans, corn, tortilla chips etc.....yep, wrong picture!
