Hubby is the bean salad expert and he thought the dressing wasn't quite what he expected. I usually use a 3: 1 ratio of oil to vinegar. Read More

I think this salad is excellent. It's simple to prepare. I prefer making my own salads at home instead of purchasing the pre-made ones at the grocery deli counter. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I usually try to follow the directions exactly. I didn't have any jars of pimento peppers at home so I omitted that ingredient. Read More

It was good but the sauce wasn't as vinegary as I like. Great combination of vegetables though! Read More

The only change I made was to add different peppers to make it more colorful. I didn t add the pimento either because I couldn t find any. Read More

Fantastic recipe! Just what I was looking for! I used chickpeas instead of kidney beans because I was out of them and it tasted great. The chickpeas really absorbed the flavour of the dressing. Read More

I used fresh grean 3 color string beans from my garden. I blanched them and a white onion. Added a splash of ACV with the white for some tang. I have it in the frig to marinate...smell delicious! what a great way to have a cold dish with lots of veggies for the hot summer days! You could stretch this by adding pasta, chickpeas and even throw in a little cubed chicken or ham... Read More
