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!
