This might sound weird, and it's way past when you posted this, but I had hummus mixed in with this at a restaurant in Boston once. Maybe that would help cut the cilantro a bit.

You could try adding a handful of parsley as well as adding lime juice.

I would suggest adding a diced avocado, lime, and some diced tomatoes, and give it a guacamole twist. I have recently been doing this to end up with a lower-fat guacamole experience. bon appetit!

You could also add some lime juice and /or maybe grilled chiles. The other thing you could do is to take a portion of the salad- put it in a strainer, rinse it, drain it and re-toss it back into the salad.

Could just increase the other ingredients if you had them. At least the corn and beans. Good luck!
