"I've had this recipe quite a long time, although I have changed it somewhat from the original," comments Alden Thornton from Warrenton, Oregon. "It's always been popular, particularly when served at picnics and potlucks." Tip: If you are crunched for time, instead of roasting the pepper yourself, use roasted red peppers sold in jar, often near the pickles and condiments.

This was excellent and I don't like most bean salads. I would definitely recommend it.

Reviewed on Feb. 09, 2010 by bluebowtye

This is a very quick salad especially if you use the jarred roasted red peppers. I like to serve it in the summer with BBQ.

Reviewed on Jan. 01, 2009 by waterlilyFL

This salad tastes like it came from a fancy deli and is so easy to put together with the jarred roasted red peppers. I prefer to make it the day before I plan to serve it.
