Black ‘n’ White Bean Salad
Black 'n' White Bean Salad is a cool, hearty side dish Kay Ogden created after tasting a similar one in a restaurant. "It goes together in no time and complements most entrees," reports this Grants Pass, Oregon reader.

Reviews
I've tried numerous bean salad recipes in the past and was always unimpressed with the results. This one hit the mark - finally. I think the different thing in this one is the red wine vinegar. Limes, lemons just don't provide the punch that the vinegar does.
I really liked it! Unfortunately my husband did not.
I make this salad for almost every potluck. Never a time goes by where someone doesn't ask for the recipe. I substitute small white beans for the cannellinin beans. I have been making this recipe since it was published in your magazine over 12 years ago.
