If you like a good bean salad then this is it. Very good, simple to make and it can be made a little while ahead(like the day before).
I wanted it to taste like my mom's three bean salad without all the sugar and oil. This is very close to that taste. Instead of 2 tbsp sugar I used 1 tbsp light agave. Instead of 2 tablespoons vinegar I use one tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Everything else I did the same. Taste great!
A simple little side that goes a long way in Taste. I made mine up the day before I actually served it. I also cooked my own green beans and I switched out the Wax beans for Black Beans. And I made it a little healthier by losing the sugar and using Honey instead. I doubled up on the dressing ingredients. This will feed more then 3 if serving as a side dish.Very nice short and snappy little recipe.Taste of Home Volunteer Field Editor
Absolutely great in salads. I sometimes use corn or black beans in place of kidney beans - delicious!
Perfect Easy... the longer in the Fridge the better it tastes...
I lost mom's recipe for this bean salad and glad I check this site....this is the recipe. It's excellent, mom has been making it for years.
Quite tasty!
My entire family enjoyed this wonderful salad. Even my little son Peter asked for more. This ones a keeper!
